In other inspiring news, Briefly.co.za recently reported on a young female farmer who is inspiring many after starting a backyard nursery. A young Limpopo woman is making a huge difference in her impoverished community.

This after she came up with the innovative idea to grow vegetables inside a nursery in her very own backyard. Shanen Rikhotso first set out on a mission to change the general outlook of her rural village called N’wamitwa, outside Tzaneen in Limpopo after she noticed that the place was plagued by unemployment and youths who have nothing else to do but do drugs and drown their sorrows in alcohol.

Shanen is slowly changing all of that by proving to others that there are opportunities for growth even in a small village. Using herself as an example, she planted veggies in her backyard which soon became a nursery, which she decided to call Ntsakelo’s Nursery.
