AFGRI relates to the team given our shared values of teamwork, accountability, integrity, passion, and service excellence. We salute the Blue Bulls Rugby Union with the franchise’s 80-year anniversary, and trust that through our support, it will grow from strength to strength.
LANDBOUWEEKLIKS, proudly sponsored by AFGRI.
Six years ago when the proposal for an agricultural show on television came across our table, we didn’t hesitate. We threw our weight into it. Because our farmers matter. Each one of their stories matter. It is at the heart of what we do… and why we do it.
As one of the best, oldest and most specialised multi-service providers in the agricultural sector in South Africa, supporting initiatives that bring light to the challenging environment our clients function in, fit like a glove. Not only because it is within this environment that our clients continue to overcome obstacles through their ingenuity, but also by partnering with AFGRI, a company that strives to bring solutions to each of our clients, as we partner for business excellence and a better roadmap into the future.
Landbouweekliks showcases farmers across the whole of South Africa, some big, some small, each of whom runs successful enterprises within the vast and varied landscapes of our lovely country.
It also covers themes and pertinent topics, such as mechanisation, animal health, new technologies and events.
Thousands of kilometres travelled | More than three hundred episodes broadcast | More than 2 million viewers for each of the last three seasons | A vast array of unique farmers in the spotlight | A tapestry of agricultural stories woven from all corners across South Africa.
From the winter rainfall areas of the Western Cape, with its wheatfields and deciduous fruit in abundance, to the summer rainfall areas, where maize and soya beans grace the landscape in the growing season each year, to the mountainous terrains in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, where cattle grazes on the slopes.
Landbouweekliks brings into each viewer’s home, insights into the business of agriculture. They get to experience the characters that ensure – as a collective – food security in our country.
To you, our farmers, your story matters. And as your partners in agribusiness, we’ll make sure it gets told.

AFGRI is no stranger to supporting local content aimed at enhancing information and ensuring farmers have access to everything they might need to run a successful operation. It is for this reason that AFGRI is proud to partner with the African Farming series. Success starts with a trusted partner and continues for generations, and AFGRI has core competencies to enhance, support and guide the growth of agricultural enterprises.
The series, hosted by Metro FM radio presenter and farmer Angie Khumalo, also fits in perfectly with our Lemang Agricultural Services offering, which focuses on new era farmers in South Africa. Follow Angie as she travels around the country looking for the best farmers to discover the secrets of their success in this innovative new TV series.
Programmes are broadcast on Thursdays at 19:00 on Mzansi Wethu (DStv channel 163), with repeats on Sunday at 11:00 on Mzansi Wethu, and on the DStv Now App.
AFGRI is proud to be associated in a sponsor capacity to Paarl Gimnasium. A school with a history dating back 160 years to 1858. In 1902 an organised sport focus began and since then the school is proud to have developed 29 Springbok rugby players, the most recent being Handré Pollard who became a Springbok in 2014.
With accolades such as this, the association will be strong and AFGRI is pleased to be associated with a winning culture which is coupled by high standards of success and achievement.
AFGRI’s most recent sponsorship take-on is Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool commonly known as Affies and Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool, where we will be the main sponsor of the school’s rugby, athletics, hockey, netball teams and for the Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool be the sponsor of the choir and orchestra.
In line with our tagline: ‘your partner in agricultural business’, this commitment fits the school very well, as these partnerships enable success for multiple generations. Many client’s children attend the school as well as being old boys who remain involved with the school over many years. We share a similar length of history with Affies, tracing our own roots back to 1923 and Affies to 1920.
