Lerato Botha is a zealous agriculturalist whose passion fuels her farming endeavours. She believes that when you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life. 

The 25-year-old agronomist talks about her life as a “black Botha” and the dynamics of running a family business as her father’s second-in-command.  

“Farming is not an overnight thing. You have to do trial and error even if it takes you a year or two. Make sure once you have a crop it’s going to sustain you for life. Give yourself that time, do not rush it,” says Botha.
