LOOK: WC farmer breaks record for biggest pumpkin
A farmer in the Western Cape has set a new record for the biggest pumpkin in the southern hemisphere.
Pieter Conradie was crowned the winner at the Giant Pumpkin Festival in Heidelberg, Gauteng.
His pumpkin weighed over 960 kilograms.
He only started delving into pumpkin growing four years ago.
Following the competition, the pumpkins were cut to extract seeds for next year’s event, and the rest were donated to orphanages and nursing homes.
