A celebrated singer and activist, she toured the world performing musical concerts.

Awards: Thuli is winner of the Sir Lawrence Olivier Award in London and the Obie in New York for her lead role in Poppie Nongena. Mr. Msomi is comprehensively developed and well balanced in a range of aspects. Amongst the respectful hats he wears, two of his most favorite hats are fatherhood and creativity. His love for children, their well-being and that of the community at large stems from his home. The smile on the children's faces when they receive books and clothing fuels my drive to provide them with more resources for their upliftment. His role oversees the day to day operations, ensures that orders are placed clients, raw material is bought and delivered to the women. After spending time in South Africa and experiencing first- hand how the women and children in the rural villages lived, he was compelled to help those women and children. He created the Themabalethu Beaders site with the premise that if their work can be exhibited and stories shared then perhaps it becomes more than just servitude but a way in which these villagers can build a better life for themselves and their families. When you're connected to something that's bigger than you, it requires a greater level of resilience.
