Women’s Day special: Rural women tell stories of success

Strengths in numbers is key to success Margarita Nikuze, 46, started as a professional decorator for traditional spears, walking sticks and other local crafts. With time she was lucky to get training in dying clothes, by a Canadian volunteer in 1989.  The activity was the first of its kind in Shogwe sector and in 2005 she formed a cooperative with 10 other women, as a way of creating more income through  solidifying her profession.
