Livestock farmer Joppie Cloete has overcome challenges and achieved great success on a resettlement farm through hard work and ingenuity.
Speaking to nbc News in an interview, Cloete explains that he diversified his operations in response to the ongoing drought conditions across the country.
In 2008, the government resettled Cloete on a 4,200-hectare farm in the Hardap Region as part of its land reform program.
Despite being a traditional livestock farmer, Cloete ventured into new areas such as piggery, poultry, horticulture, hydroponics, and dairy farming.
