Majuba College’s Dundee Campus has taken practical steps to ensure students studying agriculture are well acquainted with tending to a garden that will produce food for themselves and their families.

“Our project ran for a week last month where many different activities were conducted on the farm plot. We send a word of appreciation to our event sponsors, including Build It and Boxer Superstore in Dundee for playing a big role in ensuring that our students were catered for with regards. It was a great experience and very successful,” he concluded.
