Where would we be without people like these. They have so little but they give anyway. The award is well deserve sister.
We hear so much about black farmers ruining land returned to them but there is a reason for this. In the 1800's black farmers in the Cape were so knowledgeable and productive that white farmers could not compete with them. They got the government to pass a law which forbade black farmers from bringing their produce to the city and the black farms and the accumulated knowledge was destroyed. Will take time to recover.

That's MommaC. She was using mabele (sorghum).
Applause, we are happy for you mama. You make me proud. I was talking to a certain white woman yesterday. Her father has got a farm. She tells me that their neighboring farm owner is a black guy and he is doing quite well. Applause to him too. I need to go and get some experience from these 2. Report Abuse

Congratulation Mma go rena!! You will be our next Minister of Agriculture you proved too much better than the lazy Tina Jommat Pieterson who does not have even a single idea what Agriculture is , another useless Minister who deserve to be a Senior Manager for Auxiliary in DPSA, she does not not even come close to being a Minister. We do not want to disclose how you got that post because we have respect and have signed pledge to keep Presidential 'secretes' as such you deserve to be replaced by Makoko wa rona above!!!

The best would be if Tjale does not wait for 'Zuma gov' to 'provide water which is a basic need' because she might wait forever. She has done well so far. Ofcourse readers of the Sowetan who have the same Tjale spirit can support her rather than just congradulate her. Report Abuse
