Pauline Ramugondo describes her weekend, Saturdays- the busiest day. I do the washing, the mending of clothes for the children. You know, a woman is always busy at home .... It is a double job .... You get a rest when you go to church or at the mtshaolo. A mtshaolo is one of the many types of voluntary associations which have emerged to help people cope with pressures of urban life. Most of these help household savings. The most common are burial societies, and stokvels.
