The entity also has a mechanisation workshop with tractors and planters, which are used to assist the surrounding communities. The workshop equipment is used to assist the communities in ploughing their lands at a fee of R744 per hectare. The entity also has a truck for transportation of animals from one area to another when there is a need. Currently there are nine tractors and they are not operational, which poses a challenge during the planting season. There were still some discussions with AgriSETA on the accreditation of the entity's training programmes through Fort Cox College of Agriculture and Forestry. Challenges
