The founders of Zamava Construction and Projects: Drip Drop Plumbers, are determined to inspire young women to challenge gender stereotypes within male-dominated industries.
The company which started as a small business, rendering free services in Kagiso, has expanded into a business to be reckoned with.
Gomba and Lutya had no experience in construction prior to 2016 and held retail jobs. It was only after obtaining a learnership, that they began to learn about construction and plumbing on-site. The municipal learnership quickly extended to a three-year apprenticeship, resulting in them obtaining their qualifications.
“The idea of women having to be helped by male counterparts for physical labour needs to be done away with. I remember when we did our first bathroom alone without help, it was so liberating. Since then, we’ve never looked back.”
