President Ramaphosa is one of South Africa’s prominent breeders of Ankole and Boran cattle through his Ntaba Nyoni stud.
His breeding programme has produced some of South Africa’s most sought-after cattle, including an Ankole heifer that sold for R2.1 million in 2022, while Ntaba Nyoni acquired the record-breaking Boran bull Jester for R3.5 million in 2023.
Livestock from the Ntaba Nyoni estate frequently headline elite regional sales, pulling in millions of rands and setting high valuation benchmarks for premium local genetics
Reports indicate Ramaphosa's fascination with Ankole cattle began during a 2004 visit to Uganda after meeting President Yoweri Museveni.
