“Save Environment and People Agency takes this opportunity to urge the private sector especially the mining companies and supermarkets to join hands with Donors, Civil Society and Government in the promotions of Women Participation in Business through Livelihood programmes such as Bee Keeping,” Ms. Zulu said.
She urged women to be Independent by taking part in activities that will generate Income as they support their families.

“We wish to thank the Government, Donors, Media, Women Movement, Traditional Leadership and the ordinary people for accepting this project which is also speaking to the 7th national development plan (7NDP) and the sustainable development goals (SDGs) as we wish to see that none of our women are left behind,” she added.
