Eight young people from a small village in the Eastern Cape are making a living producing and selling charcoal from invasive trees.
For the last 10 months they have been paid R1 800 each by business start-up company Avocado Vision. Project coordinator Mpho Monyai said the contract was to have come to an end on 31 May but was extended to the end of June.

Masoana says through this work he can take care of his family of six. No one else in the family works and Masoana had to leave school after Grade 11 to work on a farm.
