About Ntobeko

After completing her Human Resources Management qualifications, Ntobeko took the leap into entrepreneurship. Beginning as a cashier at Pick n Pay supermarket, she diligently saved up to self-publish a book, which provided the initial funds for her chicken farm. Despite facing setbacks such as losing birds, Ntobeko remained determined, gradually expanding her venture into crop production and offering training programs.

Transition into Entrepreneurship

Ntobeko’s journey into entrepreneurship began out of necessity, but it quickly became an adventure. The excitement of working for herself drives her to work tirelessly. She finds fulfillment in creating meaningful impact in people’s lives, empowering families and individuals, and promoting healthy, non-GMO foods. Ntobeko’s excitement stems from the prospect of contributing to a positive society through her work.
