Ngwako Sekhula and Mokgalakgathe Tladi's quest to end poverty and unemployment through hydroponic farming methods earned them the number one spot in the End Poverty Innovation Challenge (Epic).
About 70 teams entered the virtual competition, initiated and hosted by the Social Ventures Foundation based in the US. The competition promotes social ventures that provide jobs for unemployed people living in poor communities.
Sekhula, 25, and Tladi, 24, the owners of VegeThentic Farm, are both graduates of Wits University where they completed their studies in 2017. The two gained theoretical and technical skills in cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, microbiology and plant pathology.
