Linda Motlalepula Chimbwete
The Biltong Lady
Linda has a natural flair for cooking delicious food and has been in the biltong business from the age of 10 (now a grandmother to 3 beautiful children).
She was born in SOWETO in apartheid South Africa, grew up partly in Botswana and is married to a biltong fanatic from Malawi.
She is responsible for exciting your taste buds with Great Trekker’s Biltong, Great Trekker’s Jerky and other meat snacks to come.
Her biltong has been loved by many in Botswana, including local sportspersons, long haul road travelers, outdoor lifestyle fanatics and visitors from abroad.
Mackenzie Mbambande Netter
Co-founder, Brand Ambassador
As a Zulu decent Mackenzie got inspired by how an African girl child could rise up to be an entrepreneur in America in spite of the difficult terrain that she traveled, especially after being born and growing up as a black in apartheid South Africa. She loves the Great Trekker’s biltong as well as the Great Trekker’s beef jerky and decided to invest in the company.
Being a student at a Montessori school, she is inclined towards entrepreneurship and she is a co-founder responsible for spreading awareness of the Great Trekker’s brand. She is passionate about inspiring other girls from all around the world to reach for the sky in business.
Hayley Zimatha Netter
Co-founder, Brand Ambassador
At the tender age of 14, Hayley loved Great Trekker’s biltong and Great Trekker’s Jerky and decided to invest in the company.
She is enthusiastic to spread awareness about the Great Trekker’s brand with emphasis that it is never too early to be an entrepreneur.
