Empowering Women in Agriculture: A Visit to Cingisitha Piggery
We had the privilege of visiting Phumza Sifingo, Managing Director of Cingisitha Piggery, one of the beneficiaries of the ECRDA and sefa Blended Finance Scheme. This visit allowed us to witness firsthand the power of women’s empowerment in driving meaningful change in rural communities.
Cingisitha Piggery is a black woman-owned enterprise specialising in the production and processing of pork.
During our visit, Phumza received her first herd of 40 pigs, which she purchased following our recent engagement.
This marks a significant milestone in her agricultural journey and showcases her dedication to building a thriving agribusiness.
Our visit stands as a testament to the real impact of the ECRDA and sefa Blended Finance Scheme, a funding model that combines grant and loan support to enable sustainable agricultural development.
Through initiatives like these, we are investing in inclusive growth and strengthening the agricultural economy of the Eastern Cape.
