The Ndebele women have passed down the skills of weaving Garlic gourd baskets from generation to generation. Selling the baskets forms their main source of income. This empowers them and allows them to earn a sustainable livelihood.
The Bulawayo baskets are made for decorative purposes. They originate from the well known African pot baskets.
