Our News
Today on Women’s Day, we celebrate all the incredible women who make such a difference throughout our entire organisation; from farming to production, from quality and operations to sales and marketing. We are truly blessed to have them all as part of our Fair Cape family.
Whilst we can’t highlight every female employee today, we are excited to introduce you to the three female Directors on The Fair Cape Dairies Board, Ghawwa Adams, Carla Harper and Megan Combrink.
Ghawwa Adams:
Ghawwa joined the Fair Cape Group in 2002 as Quality Control Manager and progressed to her current position of Raw Milk and Quality Director in charge of Production and Quality processes for the group.
Her previous responsibilities have included, inter alia, quality assurance, laboratory management, production planning and optimisation, operations management, plant and equipment maintenance, raw milk planning and purchasing and developing quality systems.
Ghawwa completed numerous courses and workshops, such as internal auditing for food safety, laboratory management, advanced dairy analytical procedures, human resources and operations management. In 2013 she completed a Leadership and Management Development programme.
Carla Harper:
Carla joined Fair Cape in 2006, as Organisational Development Specialist, a position she held for six years. She completed the Executive Development Programme at the Stellenbosch Business School in 2011 and was appointed to head up the IT Department in 2012. In 2017, Carla was appointed to the Fair Cape Board of Directors as Executive Director ICT. Carla’s message to all women is a quote from Nora Ephron, “Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim”
Megan Combrink:
After completing an Honours degree from the Science Faculty at the University of Stellenbosch, Megan joined the sales team at Fair Cape Dairies in 2001. She progressed to the roles of Sales Manager and thereafter National Key Account Manager and was recently appointed to the Fair Cape Board of Directors as the Sales Director.
Megan has been instrumental in the significant growth of the Fair Cape Brand over the past ten years. She achieved this through effective business development strategies that resulted in increased market share in both existing and new categories.
“In my role as Sales Director at Fair Cape Dairies, I will endeavour to promote equal rights for all and create an equitable workplace that works for everyone. I will be celebrating Women’s Day with my husband and children, and knowing them, they will do something very special” says Megan.
On behalf of Fair Cape, we wish all our female consumers and employees a wonderful Women’s Day

Chantal is a New Mom to Be in December......what a challenge during lockdown...not only keeping herself safe & healthy but Baba too....she has a heart of gold always helping others....her & I would like to honour ALL Woman for the month of August as it is Womans Month as well as throughout the entire year! Such a strong woman and going to be an awesome Mommy - who will raise the next generation of boys to love, respect and appreciate all woman
That prestigious honour goes to my beautiful & hardworking partner Nomp Cassentre who was there for me when I no longer cared to fight during a challenging, unfair time in varsity. She insisted that I fight for a fair chance. I had completely given up on passing that module & but for her I fought, my heart wasn't in the fight, and surprisingly I won. So I know she keeps me grounded and has my best interests at heart. Everyone deserves such a solid support system. Wishing her a happy and every other phenominal woman out there a happy women's month.
My mom she 'll be 92 in December she's simply the best and our piece of gold
I, am honoring my daughter Clarissa de Wet. She had left her profession as Veterinary Nurse, and followed her calling to become a Missionary with Youth With A Mission. She is just such an amazing, loving an caring human being. She is my ultimate Hero!
My mom #MargaretSamuels as she is one amazing woman that lost her sight a few years ago due to diabetes she is phenomenal despite losing her sight👀👀 she is still positive and motivates me that all things is possible she has a amazing sense of humor 😂😂she always manages to make me smile😀 Fair Cape Dairies
Definitely my mom, she has been through so much, 3back operation, chemo therapy, radiation, burned both her legs, and even though she has endured all of those pain, she never shows it on her face. Definitely a woman of strength, therefor i salute her.
My mom Theresa Langford. She is the epitome of a strong woman. She raised 2 children on her own while maintaining her career. She even studied while raising us by herself. Now she is the best grandma to her 3 grand babies.
My Mom Lobisa Mthimkhulu is simply the best !she is an inspiration to grow old gracefully in today's society of botox and bleach ,taught us to love ourselves the way we are....to be happy in our own skin , follow our dreams and work twice as hard if not 1 000 times harder .She has done an amazing job in raising four strong independent woman and her job was never over as she is still doing the same for her grandchildren. Please help me to do something thoughtful for her this Women's Month.She deserve a break !
This is easy it has to be my mom. 74 and still strong. Born into a family of 7 siblings and shes the last one standing. She lost her sisters one after the other. She's a woman of pure strength, woman of power and her humble nature shines from with in. I have a mom in million that I gladly share with the world. ❤️❤️❤️
Im honoring my BFF for over 25 years Jaz Pakiry. She is a resilient, strong and phenomenal woman. I admire her because he is unique and authentic as they come. She is a brave warrior who gets up when she is down, dusts herself of and continue on lifes path. I love her giving nature, she is accommodating and always lends a shoulder to cry on. She is someone who fixes the crowns of other woman and that is why I love this amazing content fabulistic woman. All my love...Jen.❤❤😘 #YouEmpowerMe
I am honouring my aunt,Colleen Haskin. She is in the front line of the pandemic. She is a nurse in a psychiatric hospital and she works nights shifts,going the extra mile in making sure patients feel safe,cared for and loved. She is such a selfless and kind person who always helps her neighbours . She deserves a little treat this Woman's Day 😊💛
My 82year old grandma. She is my everything. Due to I'll health she cannot enjoy life to her fullest. But with God by her side and His Grace and mercy she make it through day by day. It's sad to see her suffer. One day up in high spirit and the next day she is sick. She must cope with daily oxygen. Love her lots. She is an Awesome Strong Woman.
A lady by the name of Vanessa from The Giving Closet, She has assisted me and my family tirelessly througout lockdown, with nutritious food and toiletries and not only for me , but inside her community as well. I think this treat would be amazing and well deserved for her this Women's Day ❤*Vanessa Velati* #The Giving Closet#
I have a mother who is absolutely amazing but I want to nominate my mother in law. We have Been going through so many things the past few months (which I cannot mention here) and through everything she stood by me and had my back always. Not just now but since the day I came into her life she treated me as her own. It was also her birthday the 30th July. In today's life its hard finding a mil like her. I was really blessed with the best. And I am forever for greatful that we have crossed paths. She deserves to win something to make her smile❤️💐
Firstly it would be my mother's. They are our everything. Hearts of gold always going the extra mile for their family so this womens day we are celebrating them and spoiling them rotten. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 And also the two of them love your product. Just yesterday I had to purchase some milk but was strictly instructed not to take anything if there isnt fair cape so yes here we are 3 families/ household's currently without milk because the shop we went to did not hve our fair cape low fat milk🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #welovefaircape We love everything about your product its delicious and soooo creamy.
I will be honouring the mother of my child, my wife Niloofar Lotus Khan-Kammies She has been through so many trials and tribulations in life. Instead of complaining of all that she has endured, she pushes hard and perservers. My wife is an unemployed graduate who is a perfect example that nothing is impossible. While at University, we fell pregnant. She did not give up on her studies. She motivates and encourages all that she meets. She is an amazing mother, wife, daughter and sister. She is always smiling and always willing to lend a helping hand. Although we don't have much, she always gives back without expecting anything in return. I pray that all her prayers are answered. Winning this for her would be such a blessing.
I nominate my sister Philiswa Priscilla she's amazing, accepting and don't judge anyone, caring, compassionate, generous and Hardworking, she's my inspiration and a God fearing woman who's always willing to help others and see them succeed.
I am nominating my mom of 82 years old who is an amazing selfless women. Who looks after my dad of 88 years who can just about move about due to arthritis. She also cares for my brother of 54 who had a stroke a year and a half ago. She bathes and dresses him as he can't walk. She does all her own housework and she is just an inspiration to all. She loves her family. Children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Any of her family can pop in anytime and she will be ready to treat them. So I think if anyone deserves it, it is my MOM.
My best friend and sister Bianca De Meyer, she is my go to for everything. She is my pillar. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid and she made sure on the day what would have been our special day she had a few surprises up her sleeve to help with the heartache. She is a real gem and deserves a spoil.
I definitely will be honouring my mom first... She is 72 and has Alzheimer's... I celebrate every day with her even if she don't know who I am.... My mom is a strong woman, raised by a strong woman who raised strong woman ... Love you mom.
I'll be celebrating my birthday on the 9th August on Women's Day and all my hardships I have been through, with loosing my job due to covid-19 and through all the odds - I am blessed with a beautiful family that loves and supports me through everything. My son really is my motivation to get up each morning and strive to be a better mother ❤❤ Therefore I nominate myself And would like to nominate my dear friend Bella Neroli she speaks wisdom when I need it the most. Thank you!
My mom Reeta Roopnarain has been sending us messages of hope, positively, care and pamper packs from 800kms away. she inspires, motivates and encourages us to beat this terrible time. She is helping her school distribute meals, shes keeping our entire family hopeful and happy. She is sending grocery hampers to communities that cater for underprivileged and the destitute. She has been a pillar of hope for us all
I nominate Linah Mookho who is strong and has been through so much she's supportive ,very optimistic and face every challenge with so much faith knowing that it shall pass.She has been working very hard helping at orphanage centre with household and do shopping for the housebond in old age residents complex during lockdown despite suffering from ankle fusion with plaster on, and got paid with vegetables from centre garden to feed his family.She isn't in the best of health but she's the firm foundation that keeps our community going and she loves Fair Cape Dairies Chocolate Mouse (made with Melted chocolate ).
