Clover Mama Number 32 is Mama Zakhe (Susan) Rammekwa of Tshepang Programmes for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children situated in Princess, Roodepoort.

Susan, who is fondly known as Zakhe, gave up a directorship position with the Social Welfare Department to start her own organisation. "I had to start my own centre and implement a system that works," she says.

Mama Zakhe cares for 250 children on a daily basis, has a feeding scheme for over 20 adults and elderly people and sustains her community through organic gardens. She is assisted by 23 fulltime caregivers and also tends to child-headed households in the nearby informal settlement.

Her centre also provides employment for five members with a sewing project and this is where Clover Mama Afrika will be able to help her become even more sustainable. In addition, Mama Zakhe is excited about implementing the Siyabonga bread oven project and food garden.

Welcome Mama Zakhe, we are sure you’re going to make a huge difference as a Clover Mama Afrika!
