Woolworths' bag of goodness

In 2004, when many of Cape Town's clothing factories closed their doors, Woolworths started the Isikhwama BEE initiative to provide employment for some of the workers affected. 

As part of the retailer's Good Business Journey, Isikhwama now employs over 80 people who produce these cheerful and downright good looking (not to mention sturdy enough to hold some heavy stuff), reusable shopping bags. 

Look out for them at stores nationwide and know that with each purchase you're creating a life for someone else.
