Our Story

LOCUST HARVEST (PTY) LTD was founded in 2026 with a powerful dual mandate: to transform disruption into opportunity, and to capture the most extraordinary human stories of resilience that the world has to offer.

Inspired by the natural behaviour of locust swarms and the biblical principle of restoration following devastation, we combine analytical precision with the raw power of human storytelling — creating platforms where individuals and organisations rise from challenge to triumph.

Our Mission

To uncover, curate, and amplify stories of resilience, entrepreneurship, innovation, and transformation — turning challenges into opportunities and inspiring global audiences.

What We Do

We capture inspirational true stories of triumph over extraordinary adversity — from entrepreneurs to survivors, community leaders to everyday heroes. Through storytelling, research, and strategic insights, we connect people, ideas, and opportunities.

Our flagship platform, "From Plague to Profit," is a global digital storytelling ecosystem where people from every corner of the world can tell their personal stories of rising against all odds.

Our Values

Precision — Accuracy, patience and disciplined execution in all strategic processes.

Insight — Understanding patterns provides a strategic advantage in any environment.

Integrity — Transparency, honesty and accountability in all engagements, without exception.

Consistency — Structured approaches rather than emotional or impulsive decisions.

Restoration — Every challenge presents an opportunity for renewal and growth.

Excellence — Committed to continuous improvement and high-quality outcomes in everything we do.
