Grassroots Impact
Under the mandate of Manzini North Inkhundla (Mnyenyweni Umphakatsi), widowed women formed a cooperative that acquired public transport assets — including a public transport vehicle and a school bus — under the leadership of Make Ntombi Nxumalo. In Mkhiweni Inkhundla, active members of the ECA Luve branch have accessed RDF support of E2.1 million, demonstrating the power of organised women in trade and transport.
