I am the Head of seamstress/HR/artist at the Keiskamma Trust. When I was approached I had to learn to weave with imizi grass and have now passed these skills on to the women that I work with.

I have travelled the world and represented the KKT at the UN last year. I even met with the President, Cyril Ramaphosa!
