Hola MaHigh-School - July 2020 edition - the Women's day focus

Women in Agriculture: Neo Leburu We continue with the theme of remarkable women. This time we look at a tough and difficult job: farming.

When they say ‘future is female’, there are actually women leading the forefront and making ‘present is female’ in various industries. Neo Leburu is taking the agricultural sector by storm by quitting her day job to fully farm with goats.

She fell in love with goats when a doe (female goat) and two kids (literally the kids of the goat), were gifted to her mother. Since then she has never looked back and has chosen her love for goats over a job in the big city Johannesburg.

By profession, she is a qualified sound engineer with a diploma in administration. Even though she had the job, her love for farming was calling her back to her rural home in Ganyesa near Vryburg in the North West.
