GUEST – Tsakani Kevin Khoza - Simunye Livestock founder
When Tsakani Kevin Khoza realised that he was selling cows to the same clients who had bereavements almost every second week, he thought it must be costly for them and decided to create packages to ease the burden.
Not only did it save his business – Simunye Livestock – as he often had to give clients discounts but it went a long way in ensuring that grieving families are not hit in the pocket anymore. “Most of my clients are people who have funerals. What happened is I would get a client come to the farm in Westonaria [on the West Rand] to buy a cow because they have a funeral, only for the same person to come back two weeks later because they have another burial. We all know funerals are costly,” Khoza said
