Nape told Steelburger/Lydenburg News that she is willing to train others in this trade.
“I can be able to take care of my kids with the little cash I get from selling the products. I am available to teach other mothers to make a living out of knitting. I can assist them free of charge.”
Nape added that most of her products are being sold in Gauteng. “I sell the shoes at R80 for kids and R130 for adults.”
For orders and knitting lessons, Nape can be contacted on
