Inyoni Africa was originally known as A . J . Nyman and was formed in 1949 . In fact , the company started off as a supplier of mining equipment to the gold mines in the Barberton region , but during the late 70s and 80s started dealing more with local farmers until agriculture became the core business of Inyoni . In the mid-80s Inyoni Africa started working in Swaziland , and so its ’ continental business began . Swaziland is not far from their base in Barberton .
