meet our founder
Loyiso Manga is a pioneering South African agripreneur and the founder of Ubuntu Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the country’s first Black owned commercial olive oil brand to reach major retailers such as Woolworths. His journey into agriculture began after leaving a corporate call centre role, inspired by his family’s farming roots, a growing interest in health and wellness, and a desire to build something meaningful and inclusive.
Founded on the African principle of Ubuntu, meaning humanity and shared prosperity, the brand reflects Loyiso’s belief in creating products that nourish both people and communities. Ubuntu Extra Virgin Olive Oil was developed to promote healthier living while challenging long standing barriers and lack of representation within the olive oil industry.
