Mmapula’s agri-business makes it to the top four
Mater Pluviam Holdings has again been named one of the top four agricultural youth-owned brands in South Africa at the Top 16 YouthOwned Brand Festival held in Johannesburg on June 14 and 15 at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The consultancy was founded by Mmapula Lesailane (27) from Tzaneen and provides tailored solutions to farmers, encompassing crop health, yield optimisation, sustainable practices, waste management, and more. “Young people are not future leaders but leading today,” Mmapula remarked during the opening of the festival.
Known for its scientific approach to agricultural problem-solving, the company has earned a reputation of being South Africa’s foremost agricultural consultancy, often referred to by clients as the ‘farm’s hospital’. They received 2513 nominations, the second year in a row that they have been honoured.

“At Mater Pluviam Holdings, we actively share our knowledge and expertise through training programmes, workshops, and seminars, empowering farmers across South Africa to enhance practices and maximise yields,” said Mmapula. As a testament to their standing in the agricultural industry, Mater Pluviam Holdings has been sponsored by Standard Bank. This sponsorship has granted them the opportunity to showcase their products and services during the festival.
