Food For Mzansi’s indigenous languages project

Food For Mzansi is published by Farmers for Change (Pty) Ltd; a Level 2 B-BBEE company, as a majority black-owned, exempted small business. Farmers For Change employs twelve (12) full-time employees and regularly uses the services of a cohort of freelancers throughout South Africa. We also regularly feature the work of graduates of our 2020 Sinelizwi Citizen Journalism programme, which saw sixty-two (62) ordinary people undergo basic journalism training through an innovative, WhatsApp-based programme. Of these students, including farm workers, farmers, unemployed youth, and even retired nurses and policemen, twenty (20) actively contribute to our website, podcasts, and newsletters, and are paid for their work. Farmers For Change launched Food for Mzansi in 2018 which has become a widely celebrated digital news publication.
