About Us


Let us eat!  This is the meaning of Idlani in IsiZulu and exactly what we live by.  


We strive to bring friends and family together through the joy of cooking and sharing delicious food. Zumbani Farming is an established family business that has been operating for years by planting and harvesting maize and other crops.  The dream of producing and selling Super Maize Meal became a reality in 2017 after extensive market research and planning.  


Idlani has grown tremendously since then even though the brand is fairly new in the market, and by 2020 capacity was doubled by adding another milling plant to keep up with customer demand.  This proves that Idlani is becoming the brand of choice for more and more South African families. 


Idlani Super Maize Meal is a proudly fortified product, meaning that vitamins and minerals are added to improve the nutritional quality of the product and maximise the health benefit to the consumer. The maize used to produce Idlani Super Maize Meal is largely planted and harvested by Zumbani Farming and only the best quality maize is selected to produce 


Idlani, delivered to stores daily to ensure continuous supply and freshness. The Idlani team is very well aware that the texture, quality, colour and softness of the Super Maize Meal is crucial to the consumer and we are proud to have exceeded these quality standards without compromising the price of the product. 


Idlani has one main goal and that is to provide our customers with the best quality, superior tasting Super Maize Meal at the most affordable price.  


Trust Idlani…you will love having us as part of your family!
