Empowerment Trust partner dies tragically in car accident

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the families of George Saleni, and his fiancé Ziyanda Stofile, who passed away in a car accident on Monday morning.

George, who celebrated his 39th birthday earlier this month, was a valued partner of the Empowerment Trust and will always be remembered for his positive attitude, passion for farming and willingness to learn and improve.

His mohair enterprise on Brakfontein Farm, near Somerset East, was going from strength to strength, and we were excited about his future in the industry.

George, you will be sorely missed.
