My research mainly focuses on inclusive food systems, with a specific focus on indigenous food crops and rural extension services. I am a Southern African Wildlife College lecturer and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pretoria in the ARUA-Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Food Systems. I am also the founder of Ubuntu AgriRenaissance, which focuses on knowledge and livelihood development through inclusive agricultural systems. I hold a Ph.D. in Sustainable Food Systems from the University of the Free State (UFS). The title of my thesis is ‘Investigating the role of indigenous vegetables on food security and agricultural biodiversity in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.’ I also hold an MSc Degree in Agriculture and Organisational Leadership (MTech), which I completed at the Nelson Mandela University (NMU) and Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), respectively.
