Mapontso Mathunya used to work on Tzicc's cutting room floor and is now unemployed. Her husband also is out of a steady job. She now tries to sell snacks and cigarettes on the street but finds it a daily struggle to bring home even a few cents.

"Life is difficult," Mathunya said. "There is nothing, nothing at all. People don't have money."
