About Us

SOUTH AFRICA'S ORIGINAL SERVICE PROVIDER TO CANNABIS SOCIAL CLUBS AND CULTIVATORS. PROVIDING SELF-REGULATING COMPLIANCE MEASURES WHILST GROWING CANNABIS CULTURE & AGRI-ECONOMY

Grow one Africa™(GOA) aims to be a self-regulatory organisation and service provider within the recreational craft cannabis social grow club market in South Africa. We do this by providing a self-regulatory Grow Club Compliance Model and then facilitating the opening of private cannabis social clubs in compliance with the 2020 Proposed Cannabis Bill. This model focuses on responsible cannabis use, sharing and cultivation while providing full traceability to all associated GOA cannabis social club members.

GOA wants to destigmatize the negative mindset associated with cannabis culture in South Africa. We believe that our social clubs show that it is possible to create a safe, informed community where like-minded people are able to practise their constitutional rights of possessing and using cannabis in private, while still complying to current legislation.

In South Africa’s cultural diversity it is ironic that the one plant that connects ALL our cultures is still not being addressed with the earnestness it requires. We at Grow one Africa are doing our best to change that!

Meet the Team

It began as a seed of an idea that grew into a dream. This dream evolved into the reality that is now Grow one Africa. When Kobus and Daleen Schoeman first started discussing the idea of starting a cannabis social club network, it seemed almost impossible. There were so many roadblocks and potholes along the way. But once they started to seriously work on making this dream a realization, the right people happened to cross their path, and so GOA was born. They opened their first club in 2019, but it was in 2020 that the first Grow one Africa club, Die Boomhuis, came to be, in Oudtshoorn.

Grow one Africa is like any family, in that it has a nuclear family that has helped to develop, administer, and communicate the GOA system to the rest of the family. Kobus, GOA’s CEO, ensures that nobody is ever bored. He thinks big and keeps us on our toes by always looking at new ways to refine and improve our Club Model. Daleen, plays the important role of ensuring that GOA never loses the essence of why and how it started and ensures that there is a balance between the spiritual health of our team and the work involved. Graeme, our Systems Director, developed the GOA Point of Sharing system and set all the necessary GOA systems in place in order to offer Track and Tracing on all cannabis shared within the GOA network. He’s a bit of a wizard who can magically create new ways for us to better manage our systems. Gerhard, our Financial Director, helped to establish the necessary financial club model compliance framework and oversees GOA’s monthly financial reconciliations. His ability to make sense of a jumble of figures amazes us all. Vanessa, GOA’s General Manager, assists with the day to day running of GOA and ensures that communication channels are flowing smoothly between the whole GOA family. She may be small, but they do say that dynamite comes in small packages.

Our nuclear family keeps growing. Our new additions to the GOA team are an important part of our journey forward. So, when we introduce the team, yes, this may be the team that started the engine running, but GOA would not exist without our amazing staff, club owners, employees, cultivating and processing members and all our GOA members. It is the whole family that has helped shape GOA into what it is today. We’re very excited about what the future holds and hope that as we continue to grow, we’ll be able to play an integral role in ensuring the sustainability of a South African cannabis culture.
