Meet The Founder Of Mopani Protein Bar

Raised in a small Limpopo village, Mopani worms were an integral part of our founder’s childhood. She learned the art of harvesting as she accompanied her parents deep into the Mopani forests and the science and love that goes into preparing traditional Mopani-based meals.

Inspired by her Tsonga roots, Wendy aims to establish a vigorous relationship between the Mopani worms and the cultivating communities with the environmental and health-conscious society around the world. And so Matomani was born, with traditional Tsonga Mopani worms at its core.

Using skills passed through generations, Wendy aspires to work closely with local communities to allow them to continue their legacy with the skills of their forefathers.
