Welcome to Amandla Power Agri

Introduction

Established in 2018 by Mandla Nkosi, the sole owner, Amandla Power Agri is situated in Paulpietersburg on L2337 Road, Mahloni Village, 3180.

Our commitment at Amandla Power Agri revolves around the fundamental principles of bolstering South Africa’s economy, fostering job creation, particularly in underprivileged villages, and enhancing food security within the nation.

Collaborating closely with the government, we strive to empower young citizens by providing them with opportunities to comprehend and engage in the agricultural sector. Through skill development and learning initiatives, our aim is to encourage their investment in agriculture for future contributions to South Africa’s economic landscape.

Vision

Our farm embarked on a modest journey, beginning with just 5 pigs and progressively expanding to 10, 20, and eventually a 50-sow unit, where the emphasis is on female pigs that play a pivotal role in reproduction.

Our aspiration is to further scale our operations to accommodate up to 300 sows, facilitating a capacity batch farrowing cycle of 3 weeks. We aim to sell the piglets at a rate of 100-150 per farrowing, concurrently fostering employment opportunities with a specific focus on empowering women in our workforce.

Currently, our team comprises 5 permanent staff members, consisting of 2 females and 3 males, alongside 3 temporary staff members, with 1 female and 2 males. In line with our commitment to inclusivity, we actively employ youth and continually strive to increase our workforce, contributing to job creation. Additionally, we collaborate with governments to provide internship opportunities, supporting skill development in the agricultural sector.
