Passion creates jobs for rural women
A burning desire to do more to uplift her community led Lelly Mntungwa to resign as a retail store manager and start her own clothing manufacturing business.
The 38-year-old from Msinga in KwaZulu-Natal says she saw a gap in the market when a leading retailer closed down.
In an effort to reduce the unemployment rate and poverty in the area, she grabbed the opportunity to empower the Msinga community through job creation and skills capacitation.
