Surviving stroke & becoming SANTAM rising star with TENDALO BAGS, Xolile Mabuza #LenyoraWednesday

Loading player...
In this inspiring episode, we share the remarkable journey of Xolile — a survivor, a creative, and a symbol of resilience. After suffering a stroke, Xolile began using discarded rubber car tubes as part of her recovery, strengthening herself both physically and emotionally. What started as therapy soon transformed into purpose, as those very rubber tubes became the foundation of a unique bag-making craft.

This is a story of strength, reinvention, and turning pain into purpose — proof that even the toughest journeys can lead to extraordinary creations.
