(Jane Zimmerman, Nogolide Mxoli and Robert Gumede)Robert Gumede, Chairman of the Tourvest Group, recently received a handcrafted Zulu shield and a traditional Ilala handwoven basket in recognition of the company’s considerable contribution to enterprise development in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga through its investment in NPO, Khumbulani Craft, since 1999.
Presenting the shield and basket were Executive Director Jane Zimmerman and Nogolide Mxoli, Human Resources Manager of Khumbulani. The basket and shield were made by crafters in the far north of KZN that have been amongst the many who have benefited from their assistance.
Tourvest subsidiary, Tigers Eye, is the single largest donor of Khumbulani having contributed more than R40 million in the last ten years. Khumbulani Craft’s mission is to contribute towards poverty alleviation in rural communities through the design, production, marketing and sale of traditional and contemporary craft.
