He also started a healing business, Magu, which sells cannabis plants. Van der Merwe has a cannabis selling license - but actually doesn't sell any cannabis as such.
He provides cannabis plants, but only for those who have a membership with him.
Van der Merwe visted the Scenic Drive with Rian to talk about this initiative.
