Linda is a beef cattle farmer and director of Nkonyane Yenkosi Farming (Pty) Ltd. She is a dedicated beef cattle breeder managing a farm with approximately 200 breeding cattle. She oversees all aspects of the farm’s operations, including veld management, animal husbandry, animal health, property maintenance, and reserve feed preparation.

Though originally from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and with a 10-year career in the corporate hospitality sector, she embraced farming after marrying in 2020 and investing her savings into the family farm following the impact of COVID-19 on her previous career.

With a Diploma in Hospitality Management from The International Hotel School and a New Managers Development Program (NQF5) qualification from Stellenbosch University Business School, she brings a fresh perspective to agriculture. Guided and mentored by her husband, who is passionate about farming, she quickly gained hands-on experience and developed her own passion for sustainable food production. As a young woman in farming, she is eager to make a meaningful impact in South Africa’s agricultural industry
