Mzansi Inspired by KZN Female Farmer Who Encourages Others to Start With the Little They Have

• A self-taught grower wants everyone who shares her passion to get into growing their own food
• An entrepreneur shared her advice on social media on how to break into the agriculture lifestyle and business
• The young woman said that people should be patient and remember that "farming is not a get-rich-quick scheme"

29-year-old Bongiwe Mchunu from Eshowe in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal is taking it one step at a time and steadily breaking into a male-dominated field with her fresh cultivated products.

The young entrepreneur produces sugar beans, oyster mushrooms, butternut and her famous frozen fruit that is packaged and branded for sale around her hometown.

Mchunu notes that she started farming only in 2021 and warns that the line of work is not an easy one and requires a lot of dedication.
