Taking pride in pig farming

Langelihle supplies pigs to an abattoir in Folsberg, where they are slaughtered and packaged for production and sold to various outlets. Although pig farming is the primary focus of this business, it has also expanded to other types of farming which includes crop farming and chicken farming.

The business’ future aspiration is to focus on education geared towards young people who would like to be farmers. This project will teach them the basics of farming and how it can become self-sustainable in the future.

The Sibona Ilanga Trust is supporting the development of the business with a grant of R300,000.

“The support of the Sibona Ilanga Trust enables Langelilhle to acquire our own abattoir soon, creating opportunities for more employment. The Trust has been a significant help and has added value to our organisation, for which we are extremely grateful.” Leonardo Jansen, Owner: Langelihle Livestock and Crop Farming.
