MEC Mase Manopole, responsible for Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development and Land Reform  in the Northern Cape delivered the keynote address during the 3rd cohort of Unemployed Agricultural Graduates and a Farmer’s Market held in Kimberley. Manopole encouraged graduates to become entrepreneurs, emphasizing the department's commitment to nurturing the next generation of agricultural leaders whilst farmers continued marketing their produce in the area. Furthermore, Manopole emphasized the significance of the programme as it will further enhance the skills levels of these graduates in creating their own job opprtunies. This initiative is a partnership between the department and the commodity organizations. Graduates will have two- year on the job experience across the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors.
