Recordist's notes
Donor and I are diving into some of the secrets of ilala weaving. i’m fascinated to understand more about the actual making of ilala baskets and the intricate knowledge on how best to treat the natural resource of ilala (palm leave) to ready it for producing “good quality crafts”. The occasion for this interview recording with Donor Ncube was her organising, participating in and documenting the ilala weavers workshop in Chinonge. Donor is ilala crafts and financial assistance officer at Zubo Trust. hear her full interview at https://archive.org/details/Donor_Ncube_Zubo_ilala-crafts
