“This was a no-holds-barred battle against the government and the Afrikaner Broederbond. We remained firm in our objective to get control over our own industry. “Maize farmers had no proper representation on the Maize Board in the 1950s and 1960s. A group of us from Bothaville – Fanie Ferreira, Hennie Delport, Hennie de Jager, Giep Nel and I – were the initial driving force to bring about change in the mid-60s,” Von Abo said.

Nampo also provides an opportunity to strengthen friendships and relationships within the industry.
