This leaving legend is an “INTSANGU” activist who is fighting for the rights of black people to grow cannabis without licence, these activists believe that the issue of a licence is just another Government’s way of excluding black people in the business that is rightfully theirs as it is their culture as Rastafarians movement to grow cannabis “Who needs license to practise their culture?” asked JT he continued and say “Black people have been growing weed for decades it is their life style”
One needs not less than R23 000 to obtain this licence along with a number of terms and conditions which are believed to be ridiculous by black growers. “Intsangu” activists say it would be fair if only their traditional leader acquire the licence then his people are permitted to cultivate under that same licence if not the Government should consider them as the famers they must be funded as well not to be left behind.
