The 22 Year Old Kenyan Dropout Building Botswana’s Biggest Farm 

He is not s drop out, he chose not to proceed with university. He actually in his own university, the best learning is through own experience.

The Kenya mindset in him is really encouraging. Imagine if African leaders doubled down and supported 200 young people like him, we can feed ourselves and feed the world.

Currently studying BSc in Sustainable Food Systems and I'm so inspired by his work and dedication.

Looking at his age, that young man will go places with this. He is brilliant.

This young man should have a RU-vid channel. Inspiring.

Kenyan mother, Zambian father, Botswana upbringing and sheer determination 👌

The guy has a great aura about him. He's definitely got his head on straight. I think he'll do great!

Its just fascinating that Africa has so many young and ambitious entrepreneurs!! Like forget this continent is blessed!!❤

Lesson learnt " I just want to perfect my craft." Isaac Kasonde 2023. One of the great minds of our beautiful Motherland AFRICA 🌍 🇰🇪🇧🇼 🇳🇬 👊🙂

He embodies the Kenyan mindset quite well. A guest cannot leave without being gifted something.

This kid is mature for his age that’s amazing.

I'm so impressed with this young man, as a 61 year old South African, it gives me huge joy to see the effort and dedication. I wish him much success and hope he's an inspiration to his adopted countrymen.

At 22 years with that right thinking mindset he’s parents did a great job in raising him kudos tayo

Big-up my Kenyan people. They are the most enterprising people I've ever met.

"Grind it out and think long term." If you can get it in you 20's, you are a winner for sure. Amazing story! Asante!

THIS is a REAL African , showing his love for the land & showing his brothers that WORK is the key to unlock the true potential of the land

The vegetable import ban by the government was a really smart move. A lot of Youth benefited from it. Nice to see someone who took full advantage❤ 🇧🇼

I like how articulate and grounded he is.

Wooow. Just wooow. I have no words literally. His dedication and commitment kept him afloat but his hunger and vision will steer him to victory. 👏🏾

This is very inspiring, as a young Motswana who had regrets of not taking an agricultural course in University I now have a different perspective.

I’m finding it hard to believe he is 22. He is so smart and eloquent. Dude knows what he’s doing. Bless up 🙌🏾🌍❤️🇳🇬

This wonderful farming ...am proud of him...am from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and these videos are inspiring me to take trip to Botswana 🇧🇼

His entertainment is his business ... This guy is definitely going to succeed in his business. Not transferring his wealth into alcohol and other time wasting activities.

Dude is brilliant! Just look at that! It's not about his parents helping him like someone said in the comment, it's his mindset! Respect🙌🏾

Africa the land of Milk and Honey. God blessed Africa with plenty of food, water, and other resources. Africa is a vast and diverse continent with a rich history and culture. It is also a land of great natural beauty and abundance. Africa is home to some of the world's most fertile land, and it is a major producer of food and other agricultural products. Africa also has abundant water resources, including rivers, lakes, and aquifers. These resources have the potential to support a large and prosperous population.

Growing your own food is like printing your own money🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thanks Tayo Aina for this interview, God will make this very young man to prosper because he didn't choose to go for rituals for his business to grow faster as many business people do so in our continent.

There's nothing better than this land on so many levels

So young and so mature! I wish my son will have such vision. And yep, university isn't always needed and sometimes a huge waste of time if you have a different mindset. God bless you young man.

Can’t wait for this Botswana series.

The best learning is through your own experience, when you visit a country, you learn so many good things. Thanks for the good work.RU-vidr from Sao Paulo.Brasil.

Lot's of love from botswana ❤🇧🇼🇧🇼

Something about East Africans and to some extent South is the calmness when we talk or what most people consider to be boring as the young man has said others even consider it to be timid but we know ourselves and WHT we capable of. Kenya is a big farming country and I am happy to see him transfer the skill to other countries. Way to go! 22 is such a young age to have such clarity of mind.

I see the Zambian discipline in him 🇿🇲keep pushing sir

👏🏾 Good for him, especially a Kenyan. There are also quite a few of us "African Americans" here in Botswana and other Diasporans that are into agriculture, BPO and more. Welcome to Botswana.

Thank you so much Tayo for always shining a light on Africa 🌍.

Wow wow Isaac my nephew, I am so proud of the man you have become. Just a few years ago I was babysitting you and now all I just heard from you is entrepreneurship wisdom and inspiration. Your mindset at your age is super impressive and I believe you will go very far with your business and as a person. Continue growing and increasing your knowledge every day like you’re doing. I pray and wish you all the best and endless success ❤️.

I have admired the work of that young man. African should support and encourage many young people rather than putting them down. There is no one who is a drop out , drop out in what. The creator created intelligent and wisdom and knowledge in human beings . The young guy has a vision of his future and he knows where the world is going. Keep up you are on the right track.

This is beautiful to watch we need this in all countries!🇭🇹✊🏾

Plan is to go back home ✈️🇧🇼🇧🇼 and into Farming I’m still learning from the best I’m proper inspired 👏👏

As a Zambian whose vision is similar to yours, this video makes me happy coz i know theres more like us who plan to end importing food from developed countries. Keep up the good work man !!!!

Fascinating work by a Kenyan. Proud seeing kenyans succeed

Asante sana son thank you for putting Botswana on the map n even more for showing young Batswana this great project May God give you more days to live n give back to humanity

I'm impressed with Isaac Kasondes venture. Having lived in Botswana for 13 years I know this is no easy project. It takes real guts & focus and he has it all. With proper support Isaac is capable with feeding the population with real standard produce. God bless you abundantly!

A real inspiration, thank you, I hope you keep sharing. I agree this is the land of milk and honey, people need to embrace their home land and put their heads down and produce.

Our children should have the option of pursuing a craft over varsity. Let's build successful businesses 🎉

He seems honest, calm and well educated. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM IN AFRICA! if one day i go to Botswana i wanna meet this guy, he inspired me!

So much wisdom from this guy, patience and hardwork were the key points of his message, really loved his view on long term success, which is what many people don't plan for. This was a well rounded video 🙏 learnt alot

As a Namibian 🇳🇦 this is inspiring much love brother.

Wooooow I’m overwhelmed by this brother’s involvement and quick success. May Allah keep blessing you and your team . I’m also planning to farm

Love African people lo❤the continente 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thanks for your inspiration 🎉

Setting a great example for young Africans. Love from Eritrea

As an aspiring farmer and farm owner, I'm really inspired

Welcome to Botswana. Enjoy your stay and if possible, make yourself available. Ready to take you around

Woooooww. ❤ from Botswana 🇧🇼

what i love about your videos is that you take all of us on a journey with you. Your channel is all about positivity. I think many people are looking at africa with intrest, we want to know what's happening there. There are some other channels that started out like yours, showcasing africa, Highlighting good things happening in the continent. But the main channel i followed turned mostly into anti western propaganda, where instead of highlighting africa it seems like the focus of the channel shifted to portraying any non-african entity as evil. Many people here are not evil. We look at the future positively, I think most people , anywhere in the world become happy when they see entrepreneurs in africa make it. We all saw the speed at which certain Asian countries caught up to the west. We live in a time where humans can interact with each other so much more easily. When korea, japan, etc suddenly started sharing their culture people loved it. Modern manga/anime was inspired by western comics. Japan created it's own take on it. And now it's loved all around the world, sparking countries like china, korea, vietnam or even some western countries to create their own anime. Korean movies and series are blowing up in popularity. Not to mention good food you get exposed to nowadays thanks to cultural exchange. People build and improve on the ideas of others. I personally can't wait for the future. Africa has so many people. There's so much potential for people sharing their world, and their story. I think you're one of the early adapters, you're doing great work. Africa has many unique things to offer to the world, and you're showing some of those!

Made love for Isaac Kasonde, for showing how it's possible for youth right here in botswana can dominant, motswana or not, we are still the key component to Our countries future and africa as a whole. Nice going age mate.

Real Man's heart, love the work of this Farmer... can't wait to see his growth in the future... God Bless

He must have lived all his life in Botswana. He's got a Botswana accent.

A phenomenal young guy right there, truly inspirational, keep going bro, Thanks alot Tayo for selling Africa to the world. Countries like Kenya have been ravaged by extreme corruption and greed beyond repair.

Fascinating mindset. Apples don't fall far, aye! And his English skills are top-notch. You should ask him how he spends his free time

I feel so inspired as a Motswana who is currently researching and about to start my farm journey in my 10 Hectares also..

Wow! As a zambian and a lover of farming, am so proud and encoraged by this young Zambian man and what he's doing...🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

Kudos my fellow Kenyan impressed. I'm actually doing this back here in Kenya. Nice seeing another younger Kenyan doing this in Botswana. Big up. I'm inspired

Great content Tayo never disappoints. This is one of the biggest RU-vid channel that has very positive content. Kudos to Tayo and Wode Maya.

Only if all Africa would think like this guy it change world

This man really sounds like he knows what he is doing, and has what it takes to expand and really do well for himself. Unfortunately the title is rather misleading as his operation is very small, even for Botswana. I wish him all the best.

We need more people like this in Africa Respect

He has a great mother who is also pushing me for entrepreneurship as a motswana.that woman is a guru in business and has a heart of Gold.❤

Let's protect and support Isaac at all costs. The mans is a treasure chest of knowledge by now.

Agriculture is NOW🍃

I was in Botswana last month, very lovely people, hot weather , and yes watch out for those cows on the motorways especially at nights

what a gem..he's already successful in my opinion because success starts with your daily habits, combine that with patience and playing the long term game your eons ahead of your competitors..big up!!

I always tell people to watch out for Botswana - a small population doing amazing things

I love the way He said my parents helped and are loving. Most people sometimes makes a fool out of other young entrepreneurs by telling them lies about how they started. At some point someone will always help you. Big ups

Is that Issac i just saw I'm still shocked. Congratulations bro you have done well for yourself.

That's why they say Kenyans are entrepreneurs and hardworking people. Amazing

Botswana is the one black African country that is truly democratic, but effectively run, zero tolerance for corruption, very peaceful and very caring towards it's citizens. No other country in black Africa can claim that.

Funny how society see him as dropout. He just had his own skill and not just in to the stereotype and the rest is history for his success. Well done to him.

Congratulations 👏 very inspiring story. Africa is rising stronger everyday

Very mature young man for his 22years. Extremely hardworking and truly an inspiration for the young people who look down upon farming as being lucrative

New mindset, new Africa. Congratulations Africa.

This young man is inspirational. Much respect to him.

I loved this African farm and this African farmer’s way of thinking. It is great to see Africans developing and reaping the financial rewards from the African continent. Africa has so much to offer! (I despise foreign investment and occupation of African countries.)

Well Mr Kasonde,so happy for you young man

So impressed with the wisdom of this young man. Its hard to believe he is only 22. He is going to be very successfull indeed

Really appreciate this young boy from Ethiopia. This boy inspired me to invest in this farming industry God bledd you boy. 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats on taking the land back and actually toiling and farming on the land, kutos to you for being so ambitious and making a success. 🎉 Your humility is truly inspirational to many

I love the kind of questions the interviewer asks. So helpful to the audience. Edit: I've just subscribed today to this useful channel.

Isaac's dad is one of the great person in Business n very humble man of God for that matter.

This is a very beautiful and inspiring video, the young man is doing an amazing job and he will definitely succeed. I'm rooting for him and all other young Africans who are putting in the work. Nice video Tayo, thumbs up.

Great country! Great people! Great video! Very inspiring

WRONG TITLE PLEASE. He is not a drop out, he decided he did not want to go to university or college. The is in a farming university rught now. Learning hands on. At 22 year's , i admire his work ethics, ambitions, talking of 15 to 20 year plan in farming, means he has a vision for the long grind. Give him credit. After listening to the young man i am dissapointed by your title. Congratulation Isaac, you are doing great. In another 5 years will read about the successful young man in farming. Blessings

Wow, I like this guy's vision for Africans, he even called us "our brothers". I'm inspired brov.

Its incredible that he was able to know what he wanted to do at a very young age. Some of us are still struggling to focus. Kudos to him and to you Tayo for the inspirational stories.

Excellent, more Botswana videos please 🙏

Tayo must be enjoying his salads now... Thanks bro i enjoyed it. Bostwana and Namibia are 2 very beautiful countries in the south

@aina kindly check your headings in future videos to avoid unnecessary controversy. Iam Kenyan myself and very proud of my brother from another mother but he is more Zambian than Kenyan as his dad is Zambian. The Botswana govt should accord him honorary citizenship he is heading for bigger things. Pan-Africanism at its best here.

we are so proud of you, African Talent and Excellence!!! You are an inspiration!!!

Keep doing what you doing bro. Inspiring us young farmers here in 🇧🇼.
