Vendor Biography

Funky Ouma was started by a dynamic mom-and-daughter duo. Anneke van Rooyen and Johannita Eksteen, on their farm outside Paarl. The idea was born many years ago when Anneke’s husband was ill with cancer, and they removed all preservatives and colourants from his diet. They played around with salt and natural flavours and saw a gap in the market for healthy cooking and braai-salt mixtures. Funky Ouma was established in 2012 and named after Anneke, who despite being mother of four and grandmother of 10, remains funky, with it and totally involved with her family and business.
