Dear Portfolio Committee on Women, Youth and People with Disabilities,

Humble greetings
MPs
Directors
Stakeholders
Ladies and Gentlemen

My name is Mamojabeng Ayesha Dorcus Lekhole, I'm a 34year old Afrikan female who resides in Meloding Virginia Free state (Matjhabeng Municipality).I have studied jewellery design and manufacturing on an international degree in Italy for 3 years at Tari design school. I have a company called "Mamos Creations Pty Ltd "which was founded in 2018 after the completion of my studies.
The purpose for this message stems from a lack of support, by state entities to assist me to fulfil my dream of creating employment thus sharing some of my knowledge with fellow peers. I have exhausted all known avenues to me without any positive outcome, however been met with "red tape"in my every quest. Today with an internationally recognised qualification, and fluency in Italian I often have to go to bed without any food.

I appeal to the Committee for any type of assistance to see myself productive and having a positive impact, in my community and country at large thus curb the amount of social ills we are currently experiencing and the lack of employment among ones which are facing the youth.

We at Mamos Creations have a better alternative to the supply of Corporate goods and high-end jewellery goods would love an opportunity to present our work.

All our designs and manufacturing is done in-house ensuring the highest standards are met in terms of the various requirements,regulations and/or bylaws which govern jewellery design and manufacturing. Look forward to hearing from you in regards to this matter.
