The students were entertained by various speakers who addressed a variety of interesting subjects, ranging from agriculture, commercial pork farming to hints that will help them to do well in employment interviews.
Motivational speaker Martin Hobbs fascinated the students by sharing his life’s journey and how he conquered Lake Malawi by swimming the entire length of 581 km in 54 days. He broke two World Guinness Book records for open water endurance swimming.
The presentations were followed with a braai where the students were given the opportunity to taste pork products sponsored by Dr Wantie Burger of New Style Pork.
The South African Pork Producers’ Organisation (SAPPO) coordinates industry interventions and collaboratively manages risks in the value chain to enable the sustainability and profitability of pork producers in South Africa.
