TUMISANG NDLOVU: In this week’s SME Corner we speak to agripreneur and founder of the Village Market South Africa, Portia Morudi. Portia, take us through what you do, some call you the bee lady?

So we are trying to bridge that global gap because there is a shortage of good quality honey. We identified a lot of arable land in most of these South African rural communities.
