I started this centre because people always wanted to know about the Ndebele culture because of how I dress. I decided to start this centre where they can learn all these craft skills.
“We don’t use sewing machines in this centre. We teach you to use your hand to create craft-made products and be able to sell them. We teach you how to cut patterns and use needle and thread to create to saw. We also teach them how to use beads to decorate various products. We are still looking for ways to have monthly markets where all products produced here could be sold.”Mkhwebane’s arts centre also teaches people how to use discarded material and turn it into different craft products.
