Clem Pohl

Clem Pohl has been involved in various agricultural projects for Wolstenholme CC over the last three years. The projects include restoring an abandoned 50-hectare rice farm to plant vegetables and herbs, which was completed successfully within 14 months. Clem was also slated to work on a similar project in Rustenburg for Anglo-American, but it was delayed due to red tape. More recently, Clem completed a three-month project near Chaka's Kraal harvesting 500 tons of bamboo to be used as a clean-burning fuel, finishing ahead of schedule and increasing labor output by 50% through altered processes and management. Clem remains available for future projects with Wolstenholme CC.

Clem Pohl: Project manager, mentor farmer, horticulturist / agronomist. Clem Pohl has been involved in various projects for my company during the last three years. Manyeding Agricultural Co-operative Project: A community project designed to supply income, food and knowledge to the local population. The project involved the restoration of an old 50ha rice project abandoned about 10 years ago and which had become completely overgrown with weeds. The dam of two hectares that is fed by an artesian well and subterranean water for which Kuruman is well known, was derelict, the pumps missing and pipes broken. The reincarnation of the project was to involve fencing the project, reinstalling pumps and installation of a new irrigation system. Thereafter the development initially of 5 hectares of land by organic method, planting a wide range of vegetable and herb varieties, as a trial to see which would suit the local climatic conditions. This was to be extended in future years to 100 hectares. Clem was responsible for project installation following the time line and budget set in the business plan. He was also responsible for planning the day-to-day activities, planting programmes and the smooth running of the project in general. At the end of 14 months the first phase was successfully completed and Clems contribution to the project came to an end. He proved to be reliable, competent and though dealing with at times difficult people managed the difficulties well. Clem was due to have started another similar project near Rustenburg working for Anglo-American, later in 2012 but the project was put on hold due to delays caused by red tape.

There is a great deal of interest in using bamboo as an alternate source to coal for combustion in furnaces by platinum mines. It is quick growing and when made into brickets provides a clean burning fuel. The project involved the cutting down of about 500 tons of bamboo, stacking it and arranging transport to the facility where it would be burned and tested. Clem finished the job within the time limit set and by alteration and good management of the production process increased labour output by at least 50%. Clem remains on our short list for other projects we have in the pipeline. Yours faithfully, David Wolstenholme Managing Director
