Learning Network Partner – Mr. Mange Ndevu

Mr. Mange Ndevu

Organisation: Vukambekweni Community Empowerment Organisation

Location: Mbekweni, Paarl, Western Cape

Mange Ndevu is an active member of the Vukambekweni Community Empowerment Organisation, where he focuses on advancing sustainable farming practices and soil preservation. His deep interest in rainwater harvesting and conservation stems from a desire to build agricultural knowledge that can be applied meaningfully within local contexts—villages, towns, and communities.

For Mange, knowledge is like a garden: “If it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested.” He believes that what is learned through the Amanzi for Food Learning Network must be practically interpreted and lived out in communities, ensuring that sustainable practices take root and flourish.
