OUR STORY

NWK – the grandpa of agriculture with a future-proof farm

We may be the seasoned pro of South African agriculture, but this grandpa isn’t just offering you cookies – he’s showing you his latest GIS application to track animals on a farm.

NWK is the foundation upon which generations of South African agriculture have thrived. We understand the industry like the back of our well-worn hand, and just like a grandpa who always has your back, we sincerely care about the future of South Africa. But, unlike your grandpa struggling with his new smartphone, we’re all about staying ahead of the curve.

Think of us as the grandpa who surprises everyone by mastering the latest farm management app and regaling you with tales of his ploughing-by-horse days.

We’re pioneers in ag-tech, developing our own cutting-edge IT systems, managing the largest private network in the North West and utilising the region’s fastest computational cluster. We’re also at the forefront of drone technology and cutting-edge farming practices. Our diverse portfolio offers a vast landscape of opportunities – from financing the next generation of agricultural leaders to providing legal and insurance expertise, becoming a grain storage and trading whiz, or ensuring financial integrity as an internal auditor.

Join us, and become part of a legacy that’s constantly evolving. We’re a company that respects its history, prioritises its people, and is always on the hunt for the next big thing in agricultural innovation.

THE BIG 5 NWK VALUES

INTEGRITY AND RELIABILITY

Inspired by the elephant

Inspired by the elephant, integrity and reliability are the bedrock of NWK's identity, much like this majestic animal standing tall and proud on the savannah. Renowned for its intelligence, loyalty, and remarkable memory, it embodies our commitment to unwavering trust. Just as the elephant forges deep familial bonds, we prioritise lasting relationships with our clients and partners. Our commitment to integrity ensures that, like the elephant, we navigate through challenges with wisdom, always learning and evolving for sustained success.

CLIENT-ORIENTED

Emulating the African Lion

In the heart of the corporate pride at NWK, we draw inspiration from the African Lion’s collaborative spirit. Lions thrive in prides where unity and teamwork lead to shared success. Similarly, we approach our work with a collective purpose, ensuring our clients roam confidently in the corporate wilderness. Just as a lion stalks its prey with laser focus, we are dedicated to exceeding client expectations. We put our clients first, understanding their needs and going the extra mile to deliver exceptional service, building strong, lasting partnerships.

POSITIVE WORK CLIMATE

Mirroring the African Leopard

In the solitary yet communicative nature of the African Leopard, we find inspiration for our positive work climate. Like the leopard navigating its territory with purpose, we traverse our workplace with mutual respect, effective teamwork, and open communication. Each member of our organization is akin to a spot on the leopard’s coat – unique yet contributing to the overall beauty and strength of the whole. This ensures a workplace where individuality is celebrated, and collective success is achieved through collaboration.

SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENT & INNOVATION

Harnessing the Spirit of the African Rhinoceros

Our pursuit of sustained improvement and innovation is guided by the strength and adaptability of the African Rhinoceros. Similar to the rhino’s robust nature, we are resilient and adaptable, constantly evolving to meet the challenges of our dynamic corporate landscape. The rhino’s horn symbolizes not just strength but also our commitment to innovation – a driving force that propels us forward. We forge ahead relentlessly, much like the rhino, embracing change and harnessing the spirit of innovation for continuous growth and improvement.

CO- RESPONSIBILITY

Guided by the African Buffalo

Our commitment to co-responsibility within the workplace and community mirrors the resilient nature of the African Buffalo herds. Much like the buffalo, we understand that strength lies in collective responsibility. Just as the buffalo herd ensures the safety and well-being of each member, our shared responsibilities form the cornerstone of our success. We actively contribute to the ecosystem of both the workplace and the community, creating a harmonious balance that sustains us all.
