Ezabangoma Homestead / Woman with Vision of South Africa:
By Dr Leonora Alberts-Vilakazi
Ezabangima Homestead/ Woman with Vision of South Africa stands as a powerful testament to two Women with Vision in South Africa, whose five-year journey of prayer, belief, and action was brought to life through their own determination and the vital support of Food & Trees for Africa and Shoprite SA.
The morning sun over the homestead no longer shines on dry, expectant soil; it reflects off the clear, steady spray of water nourishing life across the land. Five years ago, this ground was little more than a dream held tightly by two South African women determined to build something lasting together.
Through every challenge, Ezabangoma remained rooted in an unshakable foundation of deliberate planning, constant manifestation, and deep faith.
Water is life. It is the lifeblood for the young fruit trees reaching toward the sky, the sustenance for the livestock, and the essential pulse of human life for the entire community.
Turning this dry earth into a thriving oasis required active hope, hard work, and the right partnerships to turn the tide.
Partnership in Growth:
The generosity and belief of Food & Trees for Africa and Shoprite SA provided the essential support, resources, and trees needed to turn a long-held vision into a flourishing reality.
Securing the Future:
With heavy piping connected, tall JoJo storage tanks standing high, and sprinklers showering the crops, the land is secured against drought.
Living Purpose:
Holding the hose as clean water surges over young leaves serves as a daily reminder of what unity, sponsorship, and endurance can achieve.
Ezabangoma Homestead is living proof of what happens when two Women with Vision refuse to give up and find strong allies in their community.
Through prayer, relentless teamwork, and the support of dedicated partners, dry ground has officially become a sanctuary of life and abundance.
