Our story began in 2017. Back then it was just ideas as it was difficult to secure finances for either buying or leasing land. Finally in 2020 we managed to secure a 14ha plot in Mapleton close to Vosloorus East Rand Gauteng. Lots of work was involved in bringing back the plot to life as it was highly infested with weeds, it was really a challenging experience though worthwhile. Vhegies is named after the word vegetables which are sorely our core business to supply fresh vegetables to our surrounding communities and to eventually the region and the world.
Vhegies is a wholly black owned company situated in Gauteng Mapleton close to Vosloorus East Rand Gauteng. We pride ourselves on the best nutritious vegetables that we deliver. This has been our policy from the start of the company. One of the main objectives of Vhegies is to exceed client expectations and also ensure undoubted client satisfaction. This is achieved by consistently meeting the requirements of the vegetables we produce with regards to applicable standards and specifications. Vhegies was conceived by Ms. Litshani Sophy Musabeni who is a passionate farmer and a front liner in the battle against Covid-19 with great interest in health care and nutrition, with experience and knowledge in the farming sector from an early age. We are confident that we have the right expertise in crop production to ensure success in the farming industry. We have proved to be flexible as far as new government initiatives are concerned and are fully compliant with the regulations as well as with employment equity including black Women economic empowerment requirements.
A company will strive to practice good Agricultural Practices not only because of regulations but because it is within our nature, Cleanliness is our motto as our business was unfortunately born in the year of the Global pandemic ( Covid -19 virus), We believe that our Vhegies will provide the much needed nutrients for a stronger body and mind.
