Zukiswa Matamo and Nomawethu Nika from Imizamo Yethu informal settlement in Cape Town, are still on track to achieve their goal of climbing the Seven Summits – the highest mountain on each continent. In 2007 they scaled the windy mountain, Aconcagua, in Argentina. At 6 962m, it is the highest mountain in South America and in the Southern Hemisphere. Zuki and Noma, both domestic workers, along with Evelina Tshabalala, who works for outdoor retailer Cape Union Mart, form part of the Isicongo project. Isicongo – Summit of the Mountain – will see the three women from previously disadvantaged backgrounds fulfil their dreams of conquering the world’s highest mountains, including Mount Everest.
