Reginald Zalisile Mayekiso believes the country already holds the solution within its borders.
As South Africa grapples with rising food insecurity, unemployment, and mounting pressure on rural economies, Reginald Zalisile Mayekiso believes the country already holds the solution within its borders.
The founder of Olifantshoek Trading Enterprise, commonly known as OTE, has spent more than a decade working alongside emerging farmers to transform underutilised land into productive farming operations that support both food production and rural economic growth.
Operating within the Gamagara Local Municipality in the Northern Cape, OTE focuses on livestock and poultry farming, land preparation, mechanisation, and technical agricultural support aimed at helping farmers establish sustainable businesses.
For Mayekiso, agriculture is not simply about farming. It is about restoring economic participation and resilience in communities that have long been overlooked.
