Emmanuel Mudau went from being a furniture shop sales representative to a celebrated Limpopo sheep farmer.
Mudau said he tried everything possible to get a meal, including helping neighbours with their errands just for a loaf of bread.
"I bought three goats from a certain old man in my village. Today as I speak, I own about 250 bosvelder sheep and 120 indigenous goats. I'm able to put food on the table for my family," Mudau said. "In 2013, I scooped the Young Aspirant Farmer award from the department of agriculture. I also scooped the same award in 2017 and 2018. I also won an award under the Vhembe Informal Market from the department of agriculture."
