Episode 18 | Part 1 | "Women In Farming" with Nonhlanhla Joye

The Diversity Roundtable with Pamela Xaba

In this inspiring episode, Nonhlanhla Joye shares her incredible journey from a challenging childhood on a farm to becoming a self-made entrepreneur and award-winning innovator in sustainable farming. Diagnosed with cancer as an adult, Nonhlanhla faced the need to support her family and found her passion in gardening. Despite early struggles, including crop destruction by chickens, she created a revolutionary hanging garden system using recycled materials.
Her success has not only transformed her own life but has also empowered over 3,000 farmers and trained more than 18,000 individuals in sustainable practices. Nonhlanhla's mission through her Stop Hidden Hunger Foundation is to eradicate hidden hunger, focusing on healthy eating, job creation, and empowering communities. She emphasizes the role of personal development and mentorship in driving change.
In this conversation, Nonhlanhla opens up about the obstacles she's overcome—financial losses, natural disasters, and illness—and the faith and resilience that keep her motivated in her mission to create a better future.
Join us for an insightful discussion on overcoming adversity, personal growth, and making a lasting impact.
