Only In Africa 16 - Worm Farm

The video explores a unique worm farm located behind the scenes of Cape Town's famous pink hotel. The farm, hidden from the hotel's wealthy patrons, houses red wrigglers or tiger worms in specially designed crates. These worms are fed vegetable scraps from the hotel's kitchen and restaurants. Under optimal conditions, the worm population can grow exponentially, aiding South Africa's goal to eliminate landfill waste by 2022. The video humorously concludes with a nod to 'global worming' in Africa.
