HE IS a self-taught gardener and herbalist from Walmer in Port Elizabeth, who plants indigenous plants which boost 4-5s.
Zanemvula Tyokwana (45) knows that some men are troubled by weak 4-5s. They need strong power to perform better in bed.
His knowledge of plants and their medicinal use has seen him approached by sangomas. He not only specialises in 4-5 muthi but also uses plants to treat other diseases.
He uses the Cape aloe to treat conditions like eczema. Zanemvula said: “Hunger made me start this business. I lost my job in 2002 but I love reading and I developed a love of plants and their healing power from books.
“I started in 2004 by planting aloes. It took five years to grow them and some people in the community began to buy their leaves for R50. In 2010 I placed an advert on Gumtree and within two hours I received offers from two nurseries,” he said. A small aloe costs R150 and the big one R1 500. He said his plants are selling like hot cakes.
