Change in One Generation with Ntsiki Biyela

Loading player...
Ntsiki Biyela changed the South African wine industry when she became the country’s first black female winemaker in the early 2000s. After enrolling at the University of Stellenbosch for a BSc in Agriculture (viticulture and oenology), the critically-acclaimed winemaker quickly realised that her journey to the vineyards was going to be a windy one, full of change and discomfort. She talks to Ruda and Dr Frank about the sometimes-harsh changes she’s had to adapt to along the way as well as the change she’s brought to an industry that lacks diversity.
