Sambatha hands over high-tech poultry facility to emerging farmer in JB Marks Municipality

MEC for North West Agriculture and Rural Development, Madoda Sambatha, has handed over a cutting-edge 5,000-layer poultry facility at Bongi G Farm in Lindequesdrift, JB Marks Municipality, as part of the 4th Phase of the Accelerated Service Delivery Programme on Friday, April 25, 2025.

Sambatha said this was part of North West’s commitment to bolstering rural economies, alleviating poverty, and enhancing food security across the province.

“The handover is not just about providing a farm, it’s about creating growth opportunities, ensuring food security, and nurturing the essence of entrepreneurship within farmers,” said Sambatha.

The new facility represents a significant advancement for Bongi G Farm, poised to substantially increase egg production and integrate seamlessly into local food supply chains, thereby fostering job creation within the province.

Specializing in naturally grown, free-range poultry and eggs, Bongi G Farm ensures quality through regular grading by the South African Poultry Association (SAPA).
