Every year since 2008 Mdukatshani and Heifer Project SA have sent staff and fieldworkers to the MSD Malelane Learning Academy, the only place in the country that offers courses in basic animal health care. The 2019 group was the largest ever, and included GAP`s top CAHWS, promising commercial farmers, and shopkeepers, who passed the course with an average 80%.
