Loyiso taps into liquid gold of extra virgin olive oil

Noting its benefits, Eastern Cape born Loyiso Manga made it his business, creating a boutique olive oil brand he calls Ubuntu Extra Virgin Olive Oil. “It was only when I started doing research on olive oil that I became attracted to it because of the health benefits.”
