Exclusive: SA female farmer shares wise words to aspiring lady farmers
In more news stories following inspirational African women, Briefly News previously reported that a local lady farmer wants all the women out there to know that they too can do it.
Women are breaking into every sector and making it clear that they are capable of doing many things that society felt only men could.
Briefly News had the honour of chatting to Kea Motsemme, a gorgeous Mzansi woman who is also a farmer. We connected with Kea after seeing a powerful post she made on Twitter.
The post read: “#umjolowithAzola Gauteng, no child and I’m a farmer.”
Owning her status as a female farmer who has chosen hard work over babies, Kea most certainly turned heads. This woman is breaking patriarchal boundaries!
Kea breeds pigs and poultry and also grows crops. She is a strong woman who wants other ladies to know they are capable of anything.
