10MillionMasks: Tshwane textile designer creates and hands out free face masks | Day33ofLockdown

Pretoria - The day she was awarded the contract to design stage costumes for the Soweto Gospel Choir has to feature as one of the high points in the life of young textile designer and founder of Serati Ltd, Ditiro Mashigo.

Born in Limpopo, Ditiro was schooled in Pretoria when her family moved to the capital city, and has lived there ever since. After graduating from Pro Arte Alphen Park High School, Ditiro went on to study at the Tshwane University of Technology, where she majored in fashion design, textile design and technology.

It's no wonder that amid the Covid-19 global pandemic, Ditiro has become one of the heroes involved in the 10MillionMasks campaign. The #10millionmasks campaign, which has been run separately by several NGOs, was invited by Independent Media to partner with it in this common goal: encourage people to make face masks using material they have at home. It is hoped that this combined effort will ease the burden on the supply of medical masks which would best be used by healthcare workers and other service providers who work directly with the public.

If you can blow out a lighter or candle🤔 with a home made mask, then that mask is of no use. 😱
