The Eastern Cape Department of Agriculture has provided essential water infrastructure and farming resources to rural communities in Nqanqarhu through its Ilima/Letsema Lokulima Programme. Agriculture MEC Nonceba Kontsiwe oversaw the handover of new spring-water schemes in Sigoga and Saqhuthe villages, which established 26 water points serving 205 households. This initiative ends the need for long, hazardous journeys to collect water and supports small-scale irrigation for household gardens.

The department also distributed production inputs, including drought-resistant seeds and tools, to 120 local farmers. Community members expressed that this support would significantly help in combating poverty and improving food security. In a separate economic empowerment effort, 32 industrial sewing machines were provided to 16 women-led enterprises across three municipalities in the Joe Gqabi District. The overall program aims to foster community cooperation and sustainable land use for poverty alleviation.
