It was in response to the frighteningly high unemployment statistics in the Nkonkobe Municipality if the Eastern Cape in South Africa. In the 2011 Census, this was reported at 63%, resulting in grinding poverty for the majority of black people living in the area.
Hogsback, a village in the mountains, was no exception. It was urgent that the cycle of uunemployment - poverty - depression be broken. When a building on the Main Road previously housing a bottle store became available, this group, motivated by Wongama Copiso, took the decision to work actively for a major change.
