Mentorship empowers youth on Brits farm

Inyama Yethu, situated in Brits, North West, is more than just a successful farming and meat processing business. Under the guidance of founder Nomathemba Langa, the 326-hectare farm has developed into a fully accredited training centre under the Agriculture Sector Education Training Authority (Seta).

The farm hosts final-year students from institutions such as the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and the Tompi Seleke College of Agriculture in Limpopo, offering them hands-on experience in livestock management, meat safety, and butchery operations.

Langa is also dedicated to social empowerment, offering skills training programs to recovering substance abuse addicts and local unemployed youth. “We want to equip people with practical skills that can help them get employed or start their own farming businesses,” says Langa.
