Business Dynamics and Challenges
Business Activities:
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, C-Berkie Projects was born. Founded in 2019 by the visionary Ms. Lungisa Nonkwelo, the business has defied odds and achieved remarkable success. Based in Masameni A/A Libode, under Nyandeni LM in OR Tambo DM, C-Berkie Projects manufactures indigenous medicine and fresh organic food, supplying major retailers and distributors across South Africa and Lesotho.
C-Berkie's flagship product is an immune-boosting medicine, carefully crafted to defend against chronic illnesses.
