Show Notes
After 44 years in agriculture and over two decades in the wine industry, Rydal Jeftha, managing director of Koopmanskloof Wines, knows that the future of South African wine lies in its people.
In this episode, Jeftha shares his journey from navigating the industry without a mentor to becoming one of its most passionate champions of skills development and knowledge transfer.
We dive deep into his philosophy on mentorship, the critical role of organisations like the South African Wine Industry Professional Body (SAWIPB), and why careers in wine go far beyond the cellar.
