For most of the time Wooma was employed by Stats SA, she was attached to the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Office. As one of the areas of work in which Wooma excelled was information dissemination, this provincial profile on KwaZulu-Natal, compiled by one of her former colleagues in the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Office, serves as a tribute to the information outreach work which she so much loved doing.
