Thanks to her passion, commitment and eagerness to learn, 29-year-old Makaziwe Mazaleni is on her way to becoming the first woman graduate in a programme dominated by men.

A year and a half into life after lockdown, Makaziwe Mazaleni came across an advert that would put her on an unexpected trajectory.

Did she knit or crochet or have other handwork hobbies? “Nothing!” She laughs. “The only extra thing I ever did at school was dance.” It was her mother, however, who saw the advert on Facebook and suggested it may be something for Mazaleni to investigate. “I wasn’t so enthusiastic, but I didn’t want to seem like I was ungrateful, so I went to the open day.”

All the recruits who enter the programme go through a selection process, then two years of training, business and life skills development, and coaching and mentoring. Why, though, after so many years of men doing the appliances and women doing the clothing, did the selectors decide to change things up by letting Mazaleni join the men? What was it about her?
