Chris Jay Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Quote As the Cheeba Cannabis Academy opens enrolments in its 2021 educational programmes, this first-ever African cannabis education institution, has announced a scholarship in memory of Julian Stobbs of the ‘Dagga Couple’. The cannabis activist and co-founder of Fields ofGreen for ALL was tragically murdered during a home invasion last year. The scholarship is designed to empower a disadvantaged candidate who has a passion for the legal cannabis industry and aspirations for building a sustainable, life-changing career. It will cover the tuition fees, board and lodging for the full-time, four-month Cannabis Industry 101 Course, which includes a one-month internship, and takes place at Cheeba Cannabis Academy’s Gauteng campus. The ‘Dagga Couple’ scholarship is a result of a partnership with the non-profit Fields ofGreen for ALL, which is run by Stobbs’ life partner, Myrtle Clarke. “The loss of Julian has been beyond devastating,” says Clarke. “He is lost to us but never forgotten. His legacy and his life are celebrated through this scholarship which will further his important work toestablish a legal, thriving and equitable cannabis industry in South Africa.” Last year, Cheeba Africa built on its solid online education offering by opening the first dedicated cannabis education campus on the African continent. The new campus of Cheeba Cannabis Academy is based in Vereeniging, just 40mins south of Johannesburg. The extensive, COVID-compliant facility includes a 120-seater auditorium, eight lecture halls and on-site accommodation for 190 students. Set in picturesque grounds, there are also two social dining venues, various sports and recreational facilities and 24hr security. Cannabis grow tunnels and a Qure cannabis testing lab are being established on campus, and a cannabis private members club known as ‘Onder Die Boom’ will be launched to ensure students have exposure to real working cannabis environments.
