While there are some who still believe in the stereotype that women are not as capable as men when it comes to trade work such as plumbing , this perception is slowly changing . Plumbing Africa thanks Blulever Education for providing coverage of their ongoing Women on Tools campaign , which aims to change the narrative about women in the trades by sharing the success stories of their female apprentices .
“ I independently installed a toilet seat and my company told me that I had brought in a lot of money in a short space of time , more like record-breaking ! I was proud , and everyone in my team was proud ! But more than anything , I was happy to have been impactful in an industry where I have to prove my abilities because I am a woman .” – Zinhle Sibiya , BluLever Apprentice @ upp _ group
