Ngwako Sekhula (BSc 2018) and
Mokgalakgathe Tladi (BSc 2018) won first place at the 2020 End Poverty Innovation Challenge.
Around 70 teams participated in the international virtual competition across 23 countries in December 2020 to promote social ventures and employment opportunities in underdeveloped communities. 
With their startup, VegeThentic Farms, Sekhula and Tladi secured a cash prize of around
R15 000 as well as mentorship from the Entrepreneurs Futures Network. They will also be assisted by the Social Ventures Foundation, based in the United States, in the development, funding and scaling of the social venture.
Both are Wits graduates and they gained theoretical and technical skills in cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology and plant pathology from their time at the university. Their love for the natural world is something they’ve both had since childhood. “I've always been fascinated by science and the natural world. That fascination has increased over the years and inspired me to find sustainable food production solutions that will make a positive long term contribution to humanity and our environment," says Tladi.
