Visit to Mielie and Kayalitsha

During our most recent visit with our vendors, I had the distinct privilege of visiting many of the women who work on the Mielie Bags in the Kayalitsha Township. Kayalitsha is a very large township that continues to grow north of Cape Town. Many of the women who live alone are responsible for many dependents in many cases their grandchildren orphaned by HIV and AIDS. While this would seem to be a depressing place, it is so inspiring to see the joy, hope and beauty that grows in this place. It is no wonder that these products are so well received by people all over the world.
