Young farmer spread wings

20 Mar 2013

A Ghanzi based youth, Ms Karina Bimbo says in any business endeavor, patience and determination yield desired results.

Ms Bimbo, a youth farmer, said in an interview that she started her farming business with 67 goats and two bulls and now she has more than 295 goats.

She said with the P100 000 fund from the Youth Development Fund, she managed to buy the goats and the two bulls.

She said her farming business was blossoming especially as markets were readily available in Gaborone and the surrounding areas, noting that she has clients from as far as Molepolole and Mahalapye.

Her breeds are mostly Boer goats and she is grateful for the continuous support which she receives from the departments of Youth and Veterinary services as well as Local Enterprise Authority.

Ms Bimbo encouraged the youth to venture into farming while urging them to be patient because ultimately, anything which was being done properly pays off.

She said she was able to take care of her family and has provided employment to two other youth in D’kar farms. ENDS
