“Men should know that there is nothing imbokodo cannot do. We are called imbokodo for a reason. If we can give birth, what can stop us from doing any type of work?” Sthando asked.

This hard-working woman has risen against all odds as she came from a very poor background. Her situation at home in Mzumbe near Port Shepstone was difficult and people looked down on them because of how poor they were. Sthando saved money to study plumbing by singing as a Maskandi musician.

“I made a vow that I will change the situation at home. I am not scared of any challenges. I handle big machines such as rockbreakers, hand-held jackhammers and others. I break big rocks because I can.
