Now Nene’s into the finance of farming

Johannesburg - December 9 marks exactly a year since Nhlanhla Nene was fired from his post as finance minister.

A day or two after vacating his position, he took his youngest daughter shopping – because he had the time. He also helped his wife, Lisa, to plant 10 000 cabbages on their 22-hectare farm near Kranskop in KwaZulu-Natal.

Before long he was involved in a development project for preschoolers, and took up the chairmanship in board meetings of the local hospital.
