Hemp is one of the most important fibre crops both for South Africa and the rest of the world. It has been cultivated longer than any other fibre crop. There seems to be never-ending list of benefits of the hemp plant with products ranging from clothing and textile to cosmetics and insulating boards. However, it is the perceived relationship with Marijuana that gave the plant a bad name. Both come from the plant family Cannabis sativa L., but from different varieties. Hemp has been grown in South Africa for medical purposes for centuries. It has been illegal in South Africa since 1903 when dagga prohibition was passed.
Isivumelwano Holdings puts its main focus on hemp production and scale up to intermediate processing to get full beneficiation from growing for fiber to growing for flowers, seeds (and their oil). Growing and processing Industrial Hemp for both fiber oil and seed is profitable farming. Extracting High CBD Oil and using it as the basis for high CBD products is a highly profitable business that’s the niche we want to capitalize on.
The business ownership is registered under Isivumelwano Holdings (Pty) Ltd and Mr Mzibeni Jeffrey Cele is the owner of the company. This company is 100% black owned.
