Meet our guest: Mosima Macdonald Pale.

Mosima was born in Tembisa the east of Gauteng; however at the age of 5, he had relocated to a refugee camp in Botswana where his father had been living due to the fact that the police in South Africa were looking for him as he played a role in the liberation struggle. Pale had grown up in the refugee camp and had watched his father and his comrades start their own vegetable garden in order to feed themselves. This is where Mosima had discovered his love for agriculture.

Mosima had come back to South Africa to complete his schooling and had later gone to a well-known university in order to get his degree, which he had to pay for himself. Even though there were financial constricts, it did not stop him from following his dreams, and now years later, Mosima now supplies fresh vegetables to many high-end bakeries and companies across Cape Town.

Here is the message that Mosima has shared and continues to do so today: Think out of the box, be strong and go for your dreams. When you take risks, make sure they are healthy risks. And take care of our children and our environment.

Thank you for joining us, Mosima, and we wish you all the best for your future!
