“The biggest commodity is time, it doesn’t make sense to spend most of your time doing what you hate and most people trade their time for money” says Yanga Mtyide
Having a clear vision of what you want for the future requires you to disregard all the outside noise and focus on the vision. This is the embodiment of what Yanga Mtyide did when he left the comfort of his job to start His Branding Company with his sister, known as Iyanzi Branding Café which later gave birth to Vision Xhosa.
Yanga Mtyide obtained his Cooperate finance investment and Management Degree at the University of Witwatersrand. He worked for companies like Nedbank and Discovery after a clear thorough self-introspection he decided to leave the cooperate word and venture into business hence the Birth of Iyanzi Branding Café and Vision Xhosa.

They have Agro-processing equipment which helps with the processing of maize for the commercial pigs. The main object for Vision Xhosa is to take up the entire supply chain, which will help the business stop outsourcing mechanisation. Iyanzi says that, they are in the process of establishing a Tshisanyama meaning they will take the commercial pigs to Greenland’s Abattoir – Kokstad then bring the pigs back to the Tshisanyama.
