Farming, an intrinsic component of the South African economy, is a realm where family ties and business acumen intricately intertwine. Family-owned farms are more than just economic entities; they represent a legacy, an heirloom passed down through generations. But, when succession isn’t planned correctly, years of hard work and legacy can crumble swiftly. Addressing the challenges and presenting solutions is the focal point of Familieboerdery: Meesterklas, scheduled for August 23rd, 2023, at The Roots Lifestyle Centre in Potchefstroom.
Landbouweekblad, in collaboration with Theo Vorster of Galileo Capital, has taken the initiative to present this enlightening conference, one of seven set to take place throughout South Africa. This comprehensive workshop derives inspiration from Vorster’s acclaimed book, “Family Farming in South Africa.” The event intends to shed light on the common successes as well as challenges faced by the nation's leading family farms.
Key themes for the day include:
Succession Planning and Conflict Management: Delve into the intricacies of transitioning farm leadership and managing potential conflicts among stakeholders.
Effective Decision-Making and Role Distribution: Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses within the family and assigning roles accordingly.
Business Structures: Understanding which model fits best for long-term sustainability.
