GWK

Like two bakkies passing on a dirt road – one carrying the memories of 2024, the other the promise of 2025 – this year was an extraordinary journey. We faced it with teamwork and perseverance, celebrated successes, and found solutions to challenges. Innovation drove us forward, while gratitude kept us grounded. 2024 was a year of unity – the businesses within our group, our producers who never stop working and partners who share our purpose. Through it all, our hearts stayed with the land – where crops grow, roots deepen, and dreams take shape. As we prepare for a new year, we celebrate not just progress but the bond we share with our people and our love for the land. #VKB #GWK #NTK

Over the past two months, South African grain prices have trended upwards, driven more by domestic factors than international ones, says Lardus Basson, GWK Agricultural Economist. A challenging 2024 summer season continues to affect SAFEX markets, with planting progressing slower than usual due to lower-than-expected spring rainfall in the interior. #AgriTrends #SAFEX #AgricultureResilience For more agri-insights, visit www.ecne.co.za (Afrikaans publication) or read the English LinkedIn article here: ⬇️

Remembering as part of Heritage Month, the incredible transformation of GWK’s retail store in Douglas – from its 1947 roots to its 1984 expansion – was a standout moment this year. #2024Unpacked. As we look ahead to next year, we honour this legacy, continuing to focus on growth, innovation, and the team behind it all. #LegacyInAgriculture #ProudlyGWK

As we continue to breathe new life into existing retail spaces in 2024, we can’t forget the role of suppliers like Wildman Hunting & Outdoor. These businesses, driven by outdoor enthusiasts, support #local efforts to drive eco-sport, conservation, and tourism initiatives that benefit both our economy and natural heritage. #2024Unpacked #ProudlyGWK
