We are honoured and proud to support Women Owned Businesses 👊🏿
Tsholofelo Gaechose is an entrepreneur doing Agribusiness, supplying us with the freshest veggies. She exclusively sources from strictly Organic Small Scaled Local farmers, encouraging environmentally sustainable farming in our communities.
Now a mother of three, her entrepreneurial journey started 7years ago when she left insurance business to start farming. She signed up at Emdeni Skills Development Centre for a year acquiring new knowledge on permaculture and hydroponics and that’s how Kutasari was born.
Kutasari is an Agribusiness she started inspired by small farmers mainly in Soweto, who were producing wonderful crops but struggled with accessing the market. She started an ecosystem which connects people, farmers and food. Working with local farmers, buying and assisting with formalising their businesses and also offering delivery services directly to customers - Farm to Fork. Kutasari delivers in JHB and PTA and all the places in between!
Tsholofelo also co-founded a women-only Co-operative 'Mutahad Waste' which focuses on horticulture and waste management in Soweto. She was fortunate to have been selected as 2022 GIBS-Corteva exposing her to endless possibilities in Agriculture.
Let's keep finding genuine ways to empower our Women 🇿🇦

Last night's with Mam Khutsafalo Mothai 📚 🔥 Mam Khutsafalo was one of the nurses at the Baragwanath Hospital during the Soweto Uprisings on June 16 1976. She and her colleagues found themselves in the chaos that erupted in the township, and as careworkers, they had to care for hundreds of wounded children on that faithful day. They rose to the task and became more than just nurses. They were Activists and Mothers who tirelessly saved many lives that would otherwise be lost.
Where we know a lot about the from a political point of view, the stories of the Unsung heroes are often untold. Thank you, Mam Khutsafalo, for sharing your story . What a way to start ✊🏾

We bring you Ntokozo Vilakazi , Amukelani and Katlego, all powerful artists that have shaped their artistry on the Sawubonamusicjam stage.
Ntokozo is a young artist with a powerfully big voice. You can hear the echoes of Mam Busi Mhlongo's spirit when she performs and her deep love of self and her people is always felt through her music.
From Chiawelo the home of Sawubona, young and with enough energy to set any stage on fire, Amukelani calls herself XhoShangane. She adds a mix of Xhosa and Xitsonga to her pop sound.
Katlego backed with a brass band, is a classical singer that has a sound that is reminiscent of the golden Era of icons such as Miriam Makeba and the jazz greats of the time.
