On the hills of Thohoyandou lies a village called Mukula, where a group of men and women has formed a viable cooperative to crush the village’s natural resource of stones into concrete for supply to local builders.
When Ingrid Lestrade took five teenagers to a training workshop a few years back, she was stunned when one of them suddenly said to her, “This is the first time I feel like a human being, because I have never been treated this way before.”
Residents of Mutale village no longer have to travel 30 kilometres to Thohoyandou in Limpopo to buy paraffin, fill up their gas stoves or fill up their cars.
