ROCKY PARK FARMS – Ugie, Eastern Cape
In response to the coronavirus outbreak, the Fakade Foundation, owned by Sinelizwe Fakade’s family, set itself a mission to feed those unable to feed themselves. The Fakade Foundation bought food parcels for 20 families within the three communities surrounding Rocky Park Farm. The food parcels were stored at the local chief’s residence, showing that private stakeholders and traditional leaders can work together to achieve change. The chief said no commercial farmer had made such a contribution during the 15 years that his family had held the position. Fakade has committed to continuing to support the community in future.
