Mr Leon October, Agriculture specialist and project guide for the Seed4Africa project funded by the European Union has over the last weeks connected with several potential associate partners in preparation for the implementation of the project in South Africa.
This week he met with the principal of the Haarlem Secondary School, Mr Ashley du Preez and Agriculture Head of Department Mr Janssen.
The school will join the project and aim to conclude agreement upon return after the South African school holiday in July.
Haarlem Secondary School is a key agriculture training provider in the region and serves a large part of what is known as the Langkloof area – a region that provides a substantial part of South African produce export (apples, pears).
