MASISIZANE FUND<br />
BEFORE<br />
It is however during difficult times like these that continued<br />
assistance is needed. This is why the Masisizane Fund<br />
committed to further support farmers by planting 1180<br />
hectares in Matatiele, 1 500 hectares in uMzimkhulu<br />
and 50 hectares in Nkwazini. The main crops for this<br />
season are maize and soya beans with maize introduced<br />
for crop rotational reasons and as weather patterns have<br />
changed from dry spells during the last season to the<br />
return of normal seasons in the area.<br />
Nkhangweni (Robert) Matsila, Sector Head<br />
(Agri-<strong>Business</strong>) says, “The target lands have been<br />
mapped, soil preparation proceeded well<br />
and planting is close to completion and<br />
on time. We are working with farmers<br />
to fix some problems here and there and<br />
are positive to see good results<br />
this season.”<br />
