Sizakele Dlamini joined the Phaphamani Group in 2023.

Sizakele Dlamini from the Mbokodo zone, Ethekwini, joined the Phaphamani Group in 2023 following her retirement. She attended Basic Life Skills Course which was held in her zone.

She says: “The BLS course opened my eyes to the fact that I could produce my own vegetables. I now grow and sell vegetables that I used to buy! Through the sale of spinach to my neighbours, I earns approximately R800 per month. I have learnt how to make cough mixture which I aslo sell. This regular income has enabled me to save a little every month into my Savings and Loans group. I am saving to buy fencing materials, to meet the needs of my family and achieve my dreams!”
