Nomzamo Agri Village, located in Msukaligwa Local Municipality, adjacent to an abandoned coal mine, is home to 446 households. Despite historical neglect and unclear land ownership, the community has demonstrated leadership, innovation and resilience. Over the past six years, residents have built a foundation for economic and social growth, supported by the Khuthala Environmental Care Group, a community based organisation that serves the Nomzamo Agri Village community. The active engagement with municipal and district authorities highlight the community’s constructive approach to champion their development.
