Recordist's notes

every Saturday morning, the women weavers of Bunsiwa and surroundings are meeting to weave their baskets together, help each other, exchange news and learn more from experienced weavers like Notani Munkuli. the Bunsiwa weavers are supported by Zubo Trust and, apart from selling small amounts of baskets locally, they produce large orders to be sold via Lupane Women Centre in the neighbouring district; i'm accompanying Zubo's Donor Ncube to meet the weavers and we record a number of interview on the day...
