Zola A. Cloete

Thatching for 30 years in Richards Bay

  • 🇿🇦 Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
  • Little Redwood Shop
  • 1986 to 2016
  • English, Afrikaans, French
I've worked in thatching from 1986 to 2016. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 690 apprentices. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I take the work seriously, though not myself.

More about Zola

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
