Alfred Duma Local Municipality Mayor Zama Sibisi donated more than 100 plows and pitchforks to farmers in Ward 24 Baldaskraal, Driefontein area, on Thursday (October 20).
This was part of the mayoral ‘One Home One Garden’ programme, which seeks to encourage residents to use the soil to fight poverty and also create job opportunities.
