Making New Zealand Home: Kazimiya Shahwali

From Afternoons, 1:47 pm on 14 August 2019

Each week we bring you a story of New Zealanders who come from other countries and resettled here through refugee programmes. Today we speak to Kazimiya Shahwali, a Kurdish woman who arrived here in 2001 and now calls Hamilton home.

She and her family run a rather famous bakery, Kurdish Naan Bread. We talk to her about the business and how she came to live here.
