Ntombi married into Thokozani Mathe's family and was taught the art of beading by Dumsile and Thokozani Mathe (both members of the Isu team) to support the family. Owing to her talent and developed skills in the craft, Ntombi is now a community mentor in beading.

 

For Isu, Ntombi focuses on shell pieces, including beaded necklaces and anklets.
