Our last interview was with Ashanti Tyabule - Recruitment & Placement Officer at Zanokhanyo Home Management Training Centre. The project was started due to high unemployment rate in the Khayelitsha area and lack of income which prevents women from providing the basic needs of food, clothing and adequate shelter for their children.
