- Description
- In 1978, a Rev. John Galela, then a minister at St.Mark's, launched a project which included pig-farming and the growing of vegetables for human consumption and to feed the pigs. With a grant from the South African Council of Churches (SACC), a pump was installed on the banks of the river and vegetables were grown under irrigation on 2,4 ha of land. This pilot project did not affect the leasing arrangements mentioned above. The project apparently enjoyed the approval and support of the local community, until the chief, Chief M.D. Feketha (an influential member of the Ciskeian cabinet at this time), came to hear of it and forbade the people of Newlands, who fall under his "tribal" jurisdiction, to participate in the project.
