After losing her job as a street sweeper, Ponani Shikweni started a sewing business operating in her tiny RDP home in Alexandra township and now employs more than 30 people.
After her employment as a street sweeper was terminated in 2012, she volunteered at community organisations in the township and put aside enough money to buy a knitting kit. Then she used her spare time to knit doily patterns which she sold and with the proceeds she added a domestic sewing machine to her growing trade.
By then she had already recruited other women that she trained and worked with to sew items such as shopping bags, jerseys, doyleys, caps and tablecloths and once she’d bought her first industrial sewing machine, she could diversify her offering. “We were working day and night during that period. Some of our clients had closed because of the lockdown. But the demand for masks went up and that really kept us busy,” she said.
