UNkk uFundi Tshazibana, oneminyaka engu-44, ungelinye lamaphini omphathi weBhange loMbuso kanti ungowesifazane omnyama wokuqala ukuphatha lesi sikhundla. Mathathu amaphini asebenza noMnu uLesetja Kganyago ukuhola iBhange loMbuso. “Ngangingalindele ukuthi ngingaphelela eBhange loMbuso nakuba ngangazi ukuthi ngiyayifisa impumelelo. Ngicabanga ukuthi yinto enkulu kakhulu lena,” kusho yena. UNkk uTshazibana, owusomnotho, uthi inselelo akusekona ukuthi abantu abamnyama bayashoda emkhakheni wezomnotho kodwa osekudingeka wukuthi le mboni ibe nendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuthi abantu abamnyama abagidagidi ndawonye ngoba naku kunohlobo oluthile oluphatha isikhathi “Ngifieside.sa abantu besifazane abamnyama abancane babone abantu abafana nabo abasezikhundleni futhi ezindaweni ezingajwayelekile. Uma sikhula thina singabesifazane abancane sicabanga ukuthi yikuphi lapho singathanda ukusebenza khona, sasifisa ukuba yi-chief financial officer ebhange.

Wayebhalisele iziqu zomthetho, wazithela kwezomnotho ngesikhathi ehlanganisa izifundo zakhe zonyaka wokuqala ngoba babevumelekile ukuxuba izifundo ezinhlobonhlobo. Kwathi uma efunda ngezomnotho wagcina esezithanda ngoba ebona ukuthi isifundo ongasisebenzisa noma yikuphi empilweni futhi nanoma kuphi emhlabeni.

(Noma) yize kunjalo wayesivumela sonke esasimsebenzela ukuthi simphikise uma siphethe into ezwakalayo, senze izinto ngendlela ehlukile kunalena ayesuke eyicabanga. Ngafunda nokuthi awudingi ukuba yibhoklolo, angimkhumbuli nakanye esebenzisa kabi isikhundla sakhe ukuze sivumelane naye,” kulanda yena. Udlulele enkampanini elawula imboni kagesi iNational Energy Regulator of South Africa (iNersa) kanti khona uthi wafunda komunye wabaphathi bakhe uNksz uSnowy Khoza ukubaluleka kokwabelana ngolwazi analo, angalugodli kuyena, ngoba kuhle ukuthi wonke umuntu akhule enkampanini. “Omunye umphathi wami eNersa owangifundisa into emqoka wuKevin Morgan, owayephethe uphiko lomthetho. Sasiba nemihlangano nabantu bakwaEskom, engangithi uma ngibalalele ngishaywe wuvalo ngoba ngibona indlela abanolwazi ngayo. Wathi kimina bonke laba bantu banalolu lwazi ngoba sebesebenze iminyaka ewu-20 kuya kwewu-30. “Kodwa sisezinhlelweni zokushintsha le mboni nokuzoqhamuka nezinto ezintsha abangazazi. ‘Ngakho wena Fundi gxila ekufundeni lezi zinto ezintsha abantu abangazazi, uzitholele indawo ozoba ngumakhonya kuyona.’ Kungisizile loko kakhulu ngoba ngeke ukwazi ukuthi kuse usunolwazi abantu okubathathe iminyaka ukuthi babe nalo,” uNkk uTshazibana. Ngaphambi kokuza eBhange loMbuso, uNkk uTshazibana waya kwi-International Monetary Fund, lapho ethi inhloso kwakuwukufunda kabanzi ngokuhlanganiswa kwemigomo ezingeni lomhlaba nokuqonda ukusebenzisana namanye amazwe. IBhange loMbuso liyaye ligxekwe ngabakhala ngokuthi alenzi okwanele ukulekelela intuthuko yezwe. Abanye bayalisola nangokuba nabantu abazimele abanesabelo kuleli bhange. UNkk uTshazibana uthi mukhulu umsebenzi obahlalele wokufundisa abantu ngokuthi liyini iqhaza laleli bhange. “Umphakathi uyaye udidanise umsebenzi weBhange loMbuso nalowo webhange elibhekelele intuthuko. Imvamisa sibuzwa imibuzo efana nokuthi kungani singasebenzisi le mali esinayo ukweseka amabhizinisi amancane, ukweseka i-Eskom. “Thina siyibhange kuhulumeni, kumele sikwazi ukusiza uma kwenzeka amanye amabhange eba senkingeni, yilowo umsebenzi wethu. (UKganyago) uyaye athi sifana nomoya ophefunyulwayo. Awusiboni, ngakho uyazibuza ukuthi yini umsebenzi walo moya. Awuwuboni umsebenzi wawo kuze kube uyancipha noma kukhona okuwungcolisayo.”

ENONYAKA ethathe izintambo zokuba wumphathi eHhovisi loMcwaningimabhuku-Jikelele KwaZulu-Natali uNkk uFuthi Mhlongo waphoqeleka ukuthi ahoxise ithimba labacwaningimabhuku ababecwaninga uMasipala waseThekwini ngoba esabela ukuphepha kwalo emva kokuthi lisatshisiwe. Lesi sigameko sashaqisa abaningi, kwazise kwakuqala ukwenzeka into efana nalena. Nakuba kwakuyisigameko esithusayo lesi futhi esasingenza omunye umuntu azingabaze yena uqobo kanjalo nomsebenzi kodwa samqinisa ukhakhayi uNkk KwathiuMhlongo.noma kukhona abasigxekayo lesi sinqumo bethi akahambisi ngokomsebenzi awunikwe wuMthethosisekelo kodwa wabambelela esinqumweni sakhe ngoba ukholwa wukuthi ukuvikela obaholayo uma besengozini yinto okumele ihambe phambili. Uthi uma usuwenze loko, umsebenzi usungaqhubeka. “Uma umuntu-ke ekusabisa kuchaza ukuthi kukhona into enhle oyenzayo ngoba ngeke nje usuke uvele usatshiswe ungenzanga lutho oluthinta ingqikithi yezinkinga nezinselelo zomphakathi. Ngakho-ke kimina kwasho ukuthi uyazi ukuthini ikhona le nto esiyenzayo ezokwenza isimo sibe ngcono; kuwukuthi nje kufuneka siqinisekise ukuthi siphephile,” kusho “Lokho-keyena.kwasisiza kakhulu ngoba kumanje uKhomishana wamaphoyisa la KwaZulu-Natali uyazi ukuthi sizomthinta uma kukhona inkinga bese esisiza.” Uthi bafunda nokubaluleka kokusebenzisana namaphoyisa ngoba ukuba nonogada abazimele kwakungeke kubalungele ngoba babedinga indlela elula, ephephile nengezukubadla ephaketheni.

Women-owned agricultural initiatives are supported through Agri-Business and Agro-Ecology which offers infrastructure, mentorship, and other support. There are several successful women who participate in farming production such as poultry and vegetables that supply major retailers such as Spar and Pick ‘n Pay.

The City ushered in Women’s Month with style as three young designers are the talk of the town after being part of the team designing the opening ceremony kit for Team SA for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The opening ceremony was on 28 July and was broadcast across the globe. This is the second time a team from eThekwini was given an opportunity to work with the Mr Price Sport team to design the kit for the South African team for an international competition.

To register on the eThekwini’s Women Economic Empowerment Programme database email: musa.ndabeni@durban.gov.za or call 031 322 6209.

During Women’s Month, eThekwini Municipality celebrates the steady progress made to position women on the path to socio-economic emancipation through various development programmes.

The DFF provides opportunities for participants to receive training, mentorship, and access to markets as part of the Municipality’s programme to develop the fashion and textile industry.

The Co-operatives Development Programme has produced many successful women-owned cooperatives that manufacture various products. This has been achieved through capacity building, providing training, equipment, and mentorship. These include women-owned business that produce detergents, bakery products, school uniform, shoe manufacturing, and arts and crafts.

EThekwini empowers women in business

To continue with the mandate of empowering women economically, the City established the Women Economic Empowerment Programme in 2006 which is spearheaded by the Business Support, Tourism, Markets and Agri-Business Unit. The Municipality invests about R1.5 million annually to the programme to breach the industry gaps in male dominated sectors and provide equal opportunities for women through capacity building and mentorship initiatives for women in business. Women are encouraged to register on the database of the programme to have easy access to information, training, access to market through exhibitions, skills development, trading space, and many other opportunities.

IKHASI ELIKHOKHELWE

The three designers are a product of the Durban Fashion Fair (DFF) Development Programme, of which 70 percent of the beneﬁciaries are women. The programme is facilitated by Fezile Mdletshe of Fezile Fashion Skills Academy working with eThekwini Municipality to transfer skills to emerging designers.

One of the programme’s success stories is Futhi Mkhize of Dr Phyto Medical Plants who through the programme, scored a bursary to study Phytomedicine and Ethnomedicine at the University of Pretoria. This was funded by the Municipality under the Cooperatives Development Programme. She now owns a manufacturing plant which produces skin care products and herbal pills. Upon completing her studies, she returned to Durban and transferred skills to a group of 30 women, many of whom are currently eking out a living through this skills development. Some of the women are awaiting their laboratory test results for their products to begin their business journey.

Kunezifundo engaziphinda futhi kwakungekho ukwesekwa kahle, kwangithatha isikhathi, ngaze ngajwayela,” kukhumbula yena. Ukuze abe yi-CA kwakuzodingeka enze ama-article, nokwakuzosho ukuthatha umsebenzi ozonciphisa umholo wakhe, into ayingeke akwazi ukuyenza ngenxa yesimo sakubo. Muzwe echaza ngohambo lwakhe lokuba UkungapheliyiCA. mandla yikona akusebenzisayo nasezimpini asezilwa manje njengoba esalwa nokuthi akube noguquko emnothweni nasekuphathweni kwezinkampani eNingizimu Afrika. Akalweli abantu abamnyama kuphela kodwa ulwela nentuthuko yabantu besifazane njengoba ekholwa wukuthi wumsebenzi walabo asebethuthukile ukuthi bakhuphule nabanye. Uthi ziphindaphindiwe izinselelo zabantu besifazane abamnyama. Uthi abantu besifazane baphinde balinyazwe nawukungazethembi nokuzingabaza, lokhu okubizwa nge-imposter syndrome, nathe kwenza ukuthi ngisho umuntu wesifazane esephethe aqhubeke kube sengathi Indlelaakaphethe.lolu daba olumshisa ngayo ibunzi waze waqoma ukulucwaninga kabanzi ngesikhathi enza iziqu ze-MBL, nazo azithole e-Unisa njengoba ayebheka ukuthi yini eyenza abantu besifazane abamnyama bangakhuphuki masinyane njengezinye izinhlanga noma njengamadoda amnyama.

Uyise washona eneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili nokwenza ukuthi yena nabafowabo ababili nodadewabo oyedwa bakhuliswe wunina yedwa. Omunye omgqugquzelayo wuSolwazi uBonang Mohale nathatha izintambo kuye kwiBLSA. Uthi uMohale umfundise izinto eziningi. Unina wuyena abukela kuyena njengoba ethi wafunda kuyena ukuthi into oyiqalile kumele uyiqede uma ebuka indlela abakhulisa ngayo emva kokuthi kushone uyise njengoba agcina ekwazile nokubathengela ikhaya elithi “Ngiyayithandabona. indlela aphokophela ngayo ukuthi abantu abamnyama kumele baphumelele, nendlela ayesebenzela ngayo ukuthi abantu abaphethe baphumelele.

Uthi uma sisebabili, sisebathathu ezikhundleni, asikwazi ukuhlala sithi dekle.

“Ngiyayithanda nendlela ayefakana ngayo emgqeni ngezinto ezifana nokuthi awukwazi ukuyongena emhlanganweni ungazilungiselele, awukwazi ukuba wumholi ongafundi, ukuhlulwa ukuhlonipha isikhathi. Wayekubuza nokuthi udingani ukuze uphumelele, egqugquzela nento yokunakekela umzimba, ukujima… indlela odla ngayo,” kuphetha uNksz uMavuso.

INHLANHLA yinto eyenzeka ngokuthi uma kuqhamuka ithuba likuthole uzilungiselele. Into odinga ukuyenza ukuhlale uzilungiselele ukuze uma liqhamuka ithuba ukwazi ukulisebenzisa. Okungavumelekile wukucabanga ukuthi ngoba nakhu umncane, kufanele ulithole lelo thuba. Ukuba musha akusho ukuthi likufanele kepha wulwazi onalo okufanele lukwenze ulithole ngoba yilokho okusike kudingwa yinkampani. Lesi yiseluleko sikaNksz uDudu Msomi, isikhulu esiphezulu seBusara Leadership Partners. Lena yinkampani esiza ezinye izinkampani zihlanganise umhlahlandlela ezizowulandela, i-strategy. Iphinde izeluleke nangendlela elungile yokuziphatha njengebhizinisi, i-corporate governance, okufaka nendlela yokuziphatha kwabahlala emabhodini ezinkampani futhi ibaqeqeshe ukuba ngabaholi UNkszabaqotho.uMsomi, oneminyaka engu-13 ayisungula le nkampani, waqala ukuhlala ebhodini yabaqondisi benkampani eneminyaka ewu-24 esasebenzela iSaatchi & Saatchi. “Ngaleso sikhathi ngafika endaweni okwakungathi uma ubuka ihhovisi engangifakwe kulona ukuba ngangiwumuntu onomqondo omubi, ngangisasebenzisa leso sikhathi ngilibele wukunaka onke la mabhokisi ayesehhovisi lami, ukuthi ngangingenayo ikhompyutha nokuthi ngase ngineziqu ezintathu ngaleso sikhathi, ‘ngakho ningenza kanjani kanje?’. “Kodwa angibanga nengqondo embi. Ngapequlula amabhokisi, ngathola amafayela nge-akhawunti engangizoyisebenza. Ngangiqashelwe ukusebenza kwi-akhawunti yakwaPepsi. Ngafunda yonke into, lonke ifayela elalikhona amasonto amabili wonke, angilibalanga (wukukhononda),” kukhumbula yena. Loku kwenza ukuthi kuthi uma ecelwa ukuthi abambele esinye sezikhulu emhlanganweni emva kwamasonto amabili efikile, nokwamsiza kakhulu. “Ungasho ukuthi mhlawumbe bona babenzela ukubukeka kahle kodwa mina ngangena emhlanganweni, kwakubuzwa izinto ngoPepsi futhi ngangiphendula kungathi kade ngafika. Ngakho ayikho into enganikwa yona kodwa yindlela engenza ngayo uma nginikwa ithuba,” kusho uNksz uMsomi. Uthi kusukela lapho isikhulu esiphezulu sambheka ngamanye amehlo. UNksz uMsomi uthi namanje leso yisona seluleko asinikeza abantu. “Kunabantu abangawuqondi umnotho, abangayiqondi indaba yokuthi amazwe asebenzisana kanjani (i-globalisation), abangaziqondi ezobuchwepheshe kodwa bafuna ukunikwa ithuba lokuthi basithathele imigomo, banqume ngekusasa lezwe lethu. Ngobani? Ngoba nakhu bancane? Lutho,” eshaya amakhala. Uthi kunabantu abake basukume emihlanganweni uvele uswele umgodi wokucasha uma bevula umlomo. “Kufana nalabantu abakhuluma ngokuthi izinhlaka zonke zomnotho kumele zibe sezandleni zikahulumeni (i-nationalisation). Bayakuqonda kodwa lokho abakusho ukuthi kusho ukuthini. Iqhamukaphi imali etholwa wuhulumeni? “Manje siyathuka ukuthi asinayo imali eyanele ezweni, isibalo sabantu abasebenzayo sehlile, nokusho ukuthi inciphile intela engenayo, ngakho uzoyithathaphi imali. Uma uzoloku uqhubeka nokushisa izikole, silokhu sisebenzisa imali ukulungisa into eyodwa, hhayi ukwakha ezintsha. Imali iyaphela akulona nje ibhodwe elihlale liconsa,” kusho yena. UNksz uMsomi, owazalelwa futhi wakhulela eThekwini, uhlala kuleli dolobha naseGoli. Ekhula wayefisa ukuba ngomunye wabantu abahamba emkhathini, iastronaut Washintsha wafisa ukwenza umsebenzi wokunakekela umphefumulo nengqondo i-psychology ngoba uthi yayimchaza indaba yokuthi umqondo womuntu usebenza kanjani. Nokho washintsha umqondo uma ezwa ukuthi ama-psychologist awaholi mali etheni. Esinye isizathu kwaba wukuthi ngoba wayazi ukuthi angathanda ukuzisebenza futhi abantu abamnyama abawasebenzisi kangako ama-psychologist, ngakho kwakuzosho ukuthi kumele athembele ebelungwini, nayazi ukuthi kuzoba lukhuni ngoba akuthenjwana njengoba kwakuwu-1994. “Ngisho namanje nasembonini ezimele emva kweminyaka ewu-27 kusenzima ukuba namakhasimende ezinye izinhlanga,” kusho uNksz uMsomi. Kuthe efunda e-University of Natal, esibizwa nge-UKZN, wathatheka ezwa kukhulunywa ngomkhakha wokudayisa imikhiqizo i-advertising, nagcina nawo esewufundele. Uqale ekusebenze kwi-retail eqashwe e-Edcon, wabe esengena kwi-advertising. Uke waba nasemkhakheni wokuhlinzekwa kwezimali, enkampanini engenzi inzuzo, kwezobuchwepheshe nezinye ngaphambi kokuzisebenza. Uthi kwasheshe kwamcacela ukuthi angathanda ukuzisebenza emva kokuthi eqale ukufunda kabanzi nge-corporate governance, ayibuka ngeso lokuthi eyokuqikelela ukuthi izinkampani ziphathwa ngendlela efanele, hhayi nje ukuhlonipha umthetho othile. Lokho kwamenza wabona ithuba lokuba ngumuntu ohlanganisela izinkampani umhlahlandUNkszlela. uMsomi uthi uwumuntu ocosha lapha nalaphaya, ahlanganise ulwazi lwemikhakha ehlukene ukuqhamuka nezisombululo. Akakholelwa ekubeni wumakhonya womkhakha owodwa. “Kwesinye isikhathi sike sithi ukuzisebenza akukona okwamagwala, yiqiniso ngempela lelo. Kumele uluthande uhambo lonke nozama ukukwenza. Akusiko kangako ngebhizinisi kodwa kakhulu ngezinkinga ozama ukuzixazulula emphakathini noma ngebhizinisi lakho,” kusho yena. UNksz uMsomi uthi ukuba wusomabhizinisi ononembeza akuyona into elula. “Ikakhulukazi uma izinto zingahambi kahle. Buka mangaki amabhizinisi osekudingeke avale ngenxa yeCOVID-19. Ekugcineni ibhizinisi yibhizinisi ngoba kunamakhasimende akhokhayo. I-COVID-19 ishintshe izinto, amabhizinisi abenza ezinye izinto agcina esenza enye. Kodwa ngisho ngaphambi kweCOVID-19, umsebenzi ubengeyona indathane, ikakhulukazi eNingizimu Afrika, uma uwumuntu wesifazane omnyama futhi kubuye kuye ngohlobo lwebhizinisini onalo.”

Uthi imvamisa uhlobo lwebhizinisi elinjengelakhe alilindelwe kumuntu wesifazane omnyama, nathi yingakho kumqoka ukuthi uma kunesomiso ube nonembeza, ungazilulazi isithunzi. Uthi kumqoka nokuthi ungafuni umsebenzi ngendlela yokuthi ugcine usuwenza izinto ngendlela ikhasimende elifuna ngayo, esikhundleni sendlela okumele zenziwe ngayo, nokuyinto athi amakhasimende ayayizama kokunye uma azi ukuthi uxakekile.

Uthi akukashintshi lutho olutheni ngokwezinselelo ezibhekene nabantu besifazane njengoba bengakabi baningi emsebenzini nakuba kuyibona abaningi ezweni. Nokho uNksz uMsomi uphosele abesifazane inselelo ngokuthi kumele babheke nendlela abenza ngayo emakhaya labo abasemindenini lapho kukhona khona ubaba nomama.

kunezinselelo ngoba uwumholi ongatatazeliswa wubunzima UKUZAMA ukujwayela ushintsho olulethwe yiCOVID-19 endleleni okuphilwa ngayo nokusetshenzwa ngayo yinto ezume wonke umuntu engalindele. Kukhona nokuyimanje abasazama ukulujwayela. Awucabange-ke ukuthi lolu shintsho lunjani uma usanda kuthatha izintambo enkampanini entsha? Mhlawumbe omunye umuntu yinto ebingamenza madolonzima, abambe eyeka. Kodwa kuNks uHoney Mamabolo, isikhulu esiphezulu seSouth African Mint igcagcele esokeni. Asimthusi futhi, asimtatazelisi Isikhathi esifana nalesi esidinga ukuthi kuqhanyukwe nezisombululo ezintsha, kushintshwe masinyane indlela okwenziwa izinto ngayo. I-South African Mint yinkampani eyingxenye yeBhange loMbuso kanti yona iqondene nokukhiqiza nokusabalalisa imali ewuhlweza. Le nkampani iphinde ikhiqizele namanye amazwe imali ewuhlweza futhi idayisele nabathanda ukuthenga futhi babeke imali ethathwa njengegugu efana neKruger Rand. UNks uMamabolo unezinyanga ezingu-31 engene kulesi sikhundla. Kwathi enamasonto ayisithupha eqalile, kwahlasela iCOVID-19, kwavalwa izwe thaqa, kwaphoqa ukuthi abantu basebenzele “Intoemakhaya.esengiyazi ngempela wukuthi ngiwuhlobo lo mholi oludalelwe ukusebenza uma kusuke kunenkinga, kuphithizela. Ngehlisa umoya, sengafunda ukuthi izikhathi ezinzima ziyasakha. “Ukufika enkampanini entsha kuyinselelo. Ukufika embonini entsha ngenye inselelo kanti ukukwenza lokho ngonyaka okuhlasele ngawo ubhubhane kwenza kube yinselelo ephindaphindwe kathathu. Kodwa ngiwumuntu okholelwa ekutheni izinto ezikwehlelayo empilweni kukuwena ukuthi uzibheka kanjani,” kusho yena. Uthi kumsizile ukuthi uwumuntu ohlale ezimisele ukufunda nokuthi inkonyane ibingathuki isisinga kuyena ngokusebenza ngendlela ephoqa ukuthi abantu osebenza nabo ningabonani nabo njalo. Wake wakwenza lokhu eminyakeni edlule ngenkathi esebenza embonini yezamandla lapho amanye amakhasimende abo ayekwamanye amazwe. Nokho uthi bekukhona ukuthi usenkampanini endala futhi enokwenza izinto isidala. “Nakuba sithathwa njengabanye babantu okuwukuthi umsebenzi wabo umqoka (nokusho ukuthi imboni yabo ayivalanga) kodwa sanquma ukuthi into emqoka kunazo zonke wukuqikelela ukuthi izisebenzi zethu ziphephile kuqala. Ushintsho alulula kuwona wonke umuntu kodwa ibhodi nabanikazi benkampani bayaseseka ngendlela emangalisayo,” kusho uNks uMamabolo. Ngaphambi kokuya kwiSouth African Mint, uNks uMamabolo ubeyisikhulu esiphezulu seThebe Unico, inkampani edayisa amakhemikhali embonini yezimoto. Wayefike khona esuka e-Industrial Development Corporation lapho ayengamele khona isikhwama esiwu R1 billion esasilekelela osomabhizinisi ababefuna ukuletha uguquko embonini yezamandla ngokukhiqiza ugesi ongaphehlwa ngamalahle. Uqale ukusebenza ezimayini nakuba engahlalanga ngaphambi kokusebenza emabhange. UNks uMamabolo uwunjiniyela ngokuqeqeshwa njengoba eneziqu ze-Chemical Engineering zase-University of Pretoria. Ethola lezi ziqu waqopha umlando ngokuba ngomunye wabesifazane bokuqala abamnyama abathathu abaphothula lezi ziqu kule nyuvesi, nokuyinto athi yiyona aziqhenyayo ngayo. Uthi wayazi esafunda ukuthi ngokuqeqeshelwa ubunjiniyela akusho ukuthi yilokho kuphela asezokwenza impilo yakhe yonke. Akahlalanga ezimayini ngoba ebona ukuthi le mboni yayingakafiki esigabeni sokuthi ifuna abantu abazoqhamuka nezisombululo, basungule izinto futhi yayingazimisele ngokushintsha. Uthi kwacaca nokuthi lalingekho icebo lokukhulisa abantu besifazane abamnyama. “Ngesikhathi ngisenza inhlolokhono eBhange loMbuso ngasho ukuthi ngiyathemba ukuthi ngeke ngibe yilolo hlobo lo mholi. Singabaholi siyaziwisa izinkampani ngoba sihlulwa wukucabangela ingomuso,” kusho yena. Uthi ukushintsha kwakhe izimboni kwenziwa wukuthi uma kuqhamuka ithuba ebona ukuthi linento ephathekayo, uhlala izithonto. Nokho uthi akayena umuntu ohlale enecebo, uholwa wuNkulunkulu ngokuthi yini elandelayo okumele ayenze. “Kumanje kunabantu abaye bangibuze bathi ‘uma usuka eMint uzoshonaphi?’ Angazi, wuNkulunkulu owaziyo. Okwamanje ngigxile ekwenzeni umsebenzi wami ngangokwamandla ami.”

Enye yezinto eyatshala uthando lokwelapha kuDkt uBoikhutsho yizinselelo zezempilo abhekane nazo eseyingane. Eneminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye walimala kuqhunyiswa ibhomu ehamba nonina edolobheni ngezikhathi zodlame olwalandulela ukuphela kombuso wobandlululo. Kwathi eseneminyaka ewu-14 waphathwa wumdlavuza esidlekeni samaqanda, phecelezi i-ovarian cancer, nokuyinto eyamhlupha yonke iminyaka ayefunda ngayo isikole samabanga “Yilokuaphezulu.ngalapheka kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Ngake ngaﬁsa ukuba wudokotela ohlinzayo kodwa izinto engazibona ngesikhathi umuntu esafunda zangenza ngashintsha umqondo ngafuna ukuba wudokotela ozogxila ekwelapheni ezikhungweni zezempilo zikahulumeni. Ngenkathi sisaqeqeshwa sasiyiswa ezibhedlela ezisemakhaya. Sake saya esibhedlela e-Elim esiseVenda, saya eTintswalo eseBushbuckridge, eMpumalanga, lapho sasisebenza khona isonto esibhedlela ngasinye. Into engayibona eBushbuckridge… indlela okunzima ngayo ukuthola usizo lwezempilo, kwakukhona izingane ezisaphathwa yi-kwashiokor into okungafanele ngabe isagulisa abantu ngoba usuke udinga ukudla “Kwangenzaokufanele.ngafuna ukufaka isandla ekutheni yini esingayenza ukwenza isimo sibe ngcono, abantu bakwazi ukuthola kalula ezempilo noma ngabe baqhamuka kuphi; kungaba ngokwenza imikhankaso emiphakathini ukufundisa abantu… ngabona ukuthi kuthi kuqambe umuntu eﬁka esibhedlela kusuke sekonakele kakhulu ekubeni kukhona obekungenziwa ukunqanda leso simo.” UDkt uBoikhutso uthi lwamsiza kakhulu ukholo lwakhe ngenkathi ebhekene nezinselelo zezempilo, kwazise ukhule evame ukuba sesontweni njengoba

KUFEZEKE iphupho leminyaka eqokwa njengomphathi wesibhedlela esigxile ekulapheni abantwana ikakhulukazi abanezifo ezingajwayelekile. Loku kuhambisana nesifiso ayezibekele sona ngesikhathi esaqeqeshelwa ukuba wudokotela, nayezibekele ukuthi ufisa ukusifeza emva kweminyaka ewu-15. UDkt uNonkululeko Boikhutso, oneminyaka ewu-40, usanda kuqokwa njengesikhulu esiphezulu seNelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. Ubeyibamba lalesi sikhundla izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili ngaphambi kokuqokwa ngokugcwele. Uneminyaka ewu-15 aqala ukuba wudokotela. “Ngiyabathanda abantwana, kulula ukusebenza nabo… abantu abadala kubuye kube nzima. Ngake ngafundisa nosontosikole,” kusho yena. Ngokohlelo lwakhe uDkt uBoikhutso wayezokwakha isibhedlela sabantwana eGoli, eGauteng. Nakuba lokhu engasakwenzanga njengoba lesi sibhedlela singakhiwanga nguyena kodwa uthi liyamthokozisa leli thuba, ikakhulukazi uma ebona indlela asekhule ngayo. “Manje sengiwumuntu othatha izinto kancane kancane, hhayi izinhlelo ezinkulu. Ngiyalijabulela leli thuba futhi angikafuni ukucabanga ngokuthi yini elandelayo engizoyenza ngoba ngisagxile nje kuloku. “Ngenkathi ngifika lapha ukuba yisikhulu esiphezulu akuyona into engangiyibhekile. Isikhathi engiqokwe ngaso ukuba yibamba bekuyisikhathi esinzima, isikhathi seCOVID-19, obekufanele senze abantu bangaphelelwa wumsebenzi, kungelula ukuthola imali, sijwayele ushintsho futhi sizame ukuphila nobunzima. Uma ngibheka lezi zinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili ngibambile… ngikhule kakhulu. Amalungu ebhodi (labaqondisi) abesekana futhi ngiyaziqhenya ngethimba lethu nendlela esishintshe izinto ngayo.”

WAZI eneminyaka ewu-11 ukuthi angathanda ukuba wumuntu wesifazane wokuqala e-Afrika ukuya emkhathini kanti nakuba kungakenzeki kodwa ziloku zivelile izimpawu zokuthi yiphupho elizogcina lifezekile. UNksz uSenamile Masango, oneminyaka ewu-35, umsunguli nosihlalo weWomen in Science and Engineering Africa (iWISE Africa) neSenamile Masango Foundation, waqopha umlando ngokuba ngowesifazane omnyama wokuqala oqeqeshelwe ukuba wungoti ocwaninga ngenuzi, i-nuclear physicist UNksz uMasango usehlonishwe ngamagalelo akhe kwisayensi ngezindlela ezihlukene kanti uvamile ukumenywa ukuthi azothula izinkulumo emazweni ahlukene. Ngo-2017 waqopha omunye umlando eba ngowesifazane wokuqala wase-Afrika osethimbeni locwaningo oluholwa ngososayensi baseAfrika kwelinye lamagumbi ocwaningo amakhulu emhlabeni i-European Organization for Nuclear Research, ikomkhulu layo eliseSwitzerland. “Thina sicwaninga ngomhlaba. Kunezinto ezincane ongeke uzibone ngamehlo akho kodwa uyazi ukuthi zikhona. Njengoba ngiwusosayensi ogxile kwinuzi kusho ukuthi ngifunda ngezinto ezingekho la emhlabeni, zile emkhathini. Njengamanje asikwazi la eNingizimu Afrika ukucwaninga ngenuzi yohlobo lwe-isotope ngoba imishini edingekayo asinayo, sahamba-ke sayocwaninga ngaloko. Kubalulekile ngoba sifunda ngomhlaba wethu ngoba uma siwuqonda kangcono, sizokwazi ukuqhamuka nezinto ezintsha kalula. “Njengamanje amandla enuzi asikawaqondi kahle ngoba yintsha kodwa uma sesiyiqonda kangcono izosisiza sixazulule inqwaba yezinkinga esinazo. Uma ngingenza isibonelo, ngokuqonda kwethu i-gravitational force sesinamabhanoyi akwazi ukuhamba emkhathini. Omunye umuntu angacabanga ukuthi isayensi iwukumosha isikhathi, azibuze ukuthi ngizocwaningelani ngomkhathi kodwa empeleni zonke izimpendulo zisemkhathini. Ukuze siqonde okwenzeka la emhlabeni kumele sazi okwenzeka phezulu. Isayensi iveza amandla kaNkulunkulu, ikakhulukazi lena engiyicwaningayo, konke iZwi elikushoyo kuyikho kodwa isayensi ikutshela ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani,” kusho le ntokazi edabuka KwaNongoma, enyakatho yeKwaZulu-Natali. Uzithola engena emkhakheni wesayensi nje yingoba uthanda izinto ezihlukile njengoba ethi wayazi ukuthi ngeke athande ukuba wuthisha njengabantu azalwa nabo. Noyise wayewuthisha kanti wagcina ewumhloli omkhulu KwaNongoma. Lezi zinhlangano anazo usenze umsebenzi omkhulu emphakathini ngazo njengoba zeseka abesifazane abafisa ukungena kwisayensi futhi zilekelela nangokutholela izikole zasemakhaya izinsizakusebenza ezifana nama-laboratory angomahambanendlwana nokunye okusiza ukufundisa isayensi kalula. Uthi ukucwaswa abhekana nakho kusukela esafunda enyuvesi kuze kufike lapho eseqala khona ukusebenza yikona okwamkhuthaza ukuthi asungule iWISE Africa. “Ngangena oNgoye ngimncane ngino-16, ngingaxhaswa kahle. Babebancane abesifazane ababenza isayensi, kwamanye amakilasi kwakuba yimina ngedwa owesifazane, baze besho abafana bathi ‘uyaphi mfazi, yizinto zamadoda?’ “Kwakunzima. Abantu babejabula enyuvesi kodwa kuwena kungemnandi, i-Physics yayinzima nokunye. Ngasebenza ngiyithwasa ngo2012, ngabona ukuthi le nto iyaqhubeka noma ususebenza, akulula, bambalwa abantu ongabukela kubona. “Ngikhumbula umphathi wami wake wangithuma ukuthi ngiyomumela emhlanganweni, ikhasimende lethu kwakuwumNyango wemiSebenzi yoMphakathi. Kukhona owesilisa owafika emhlanganweni wabhuqa wathi ucela ukubona i-CV yami ngoba yena akahlali emhlanganweni nabantu abangaqeqeshiwe ngoba kusho ukuthi kuyena ngangingaqeqeshiwe ngoba waze wafuna kubhalwe phansi ukuthi ucela i-CV ezama ukungihlambalaza,” kukhumbula uNksz uMasango.

UKUSEBENZA ngama-satellite nokwenzeka emkhathini yizinto ezingabukeka ziqhelelene nabantu kodwa empeleni kuningi okungama emhlabeni uma kungathiwa lezi zinto azisebenzi. Ukuziqonda kuyasiza futhi kugwema izibhicingo emhlabeni.

ngokwenzeka emkhathini ukuphucula impilo yabantu emhlabeni

Usho kanje uNksz u-Andiswa Mlisa, isikhulu esiphezulu esibambile eSouth African National Space Agency (iSANSA). UNksz uMlisa unezinyanga ezine eqokwe kulesi sikhundla. Uneminyaka emihlanu esebenzela le nhlangano emelwe wukuthuthukisa iNingizimu Afrika ngolwazi nobuchwepheshe ngokwenzeka emkhathini. “Izithombe ze-satellite zisetshenziswa ngabantu bezimboni ezihlukene ukuxazulula izinkinga. Isithombe esisodwa sixoxa izindaba eziningi futhi ungabuyela kusona ngelinye ilanga ukuze ubone ukuthi izinto zazinjani. Uma kungathiwa asinayo i-satellite, ngeke ukwazi ukukhipha imali emshinini wasebhange, ngeke ukwazi ukungena ebhange usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe, ngeke ibe khona ithelevishini, iDStv, amaselula ngisho nabezempilo kukhona izinto abangeke bakwazi ukuzenza. I-satellite isisiza sikwazi ukubona izinto esingeke sikwazi ukuzibona ngamehlo enyama, sinqande umonakalo “Imishiniungakenzeki.yeX-ray ikwazi ukubona ngisho amathambo omuntu ngenxa ye-satellite. Nge-satellite siyakwazi ukubona uma kukhona okuzokonakala ngezitshalo ngaphambi kokuthi konakale kodwa uma usebenzisa amehlo enyama, ubona emva kwendaba sesishile isitshalo ingasekho into ongayenza,” kusho yena. UNksz uMlisa uthi okunye okuhle ngokuthi kuhlale kuhlale kube khona izinhlelo zokuya emkhathini wukuthi kuveza izindlela ezintsha zokuthuthukisa impilo. “Namhlanje kunobisi oluyimpumpu, nosekuyimboni enkulu yobisi lwezingane. Lolo bisi lwaqhamuka ngoba abantu ababeya emkhathini babedinga indlela yokuthola i-calcium kodwa bengeke bakwazi ukuhamba nobisi olungamanzi ngoba luyasinda. Nezicathulo lezi ezifakwa wumuntu uma ephukile njengoba kuthiwa amamoonboot nazo yizicathulo ezaqhamuka ngoba ababeya emkhathini babedinga into ezobasiza bamelane ne-gravity. “Yingakho kumqoka ukuthi i-satellite ikwazi ukuﬁnyelela kuwona wonke umuntu. Sibalulekile lesi simemezelo esenziwa wungqongqoshe sokuthi sesizozakhela eyethu i-satellite ngoba ukukhokhela amanye amazwe kuyabiza kodwa kuzoba ngcono uma sesineyethu,”kusho uNksz uMlisa. UNksz uMlisa udabuka eSada, eMpumalanga Kapa, lapho ekhuliswe khona ngabazali bakhe nezingane zakubo ezintathu. Wayenezinhlelo zokuyofundela eminye imikhakha e-University of Cape Town noma eRhodes University. Kepha ngoba abazali babengenawo amandla okukhokhela lawo manyuvesi, wagcina ebhalise e-University of Fort Hare, lapho azithela khona phezu kweziqu ze-geographic information systems (iGIS) ayengazi ngazo. Wahamba eFort Hare esene-BSc Honours in Applied Remote Sensing, aziphasa ngamalengiso. Une-MSc GIS and Remote Sensing yaseUniversity of Stellenbosch ne-MBA yaseGibs. Eqala ukusebenza waqashwa yinkampani enkulu eyayimnike umfundaze ngenkathi enza unyaka wokugcina. Nokho izinto azihambanga kahle wagcina ehlale khona unyaka owodwa. Emva kwaloko wathola umsebenzi e-Umvoto Africa, okuyiyona athi imkhulisile futhi wagcina ehlale kuyona iminyaka ewu-13. “Ekhaya ugogo wayevame ukuthi ungabophika nokuthi isixuku senzani ngoba uma wona abantu bazophuma iqhubu nawe, ngakho bengihlale ngifuna ukwenza okulungile. Ngiyibonile leyo nto ingisebenzela ngoba ngokuzimisela kwami esikoleni, ngagcina sengithola umsebenzi kule nkampani engahlala kahle kuyona ngoba umuntu owabatshela ngami ngomunye wothisha bami basenyuvesi,” kukhumbula yena. Echaza ngomsebenzi wakhe eSANSA, uNksz uMlisa uthi: “Kade ngitshela umama ukuthi lo msebenzi engiwenza manje ufana nezulu laseMthatha. Lapho ngiqha-

Uguqula izinto ngemfundo nangamabhizinisi embonini kawoyela osanda kuthenga igaraji edolobheni UKHULE edlala nabafana ngezimoto ezakhiwe ngamapulangwe nezingcingo usomabhizinisi ongomunye wabambalwa besifazane abamnyama abanamagaraji Ngenkathikaphethroli.uNkk uThandi Ngxongo edlala ngezimoto eseyingane wayengaphuphi ukuthi uyogcina esebenza ngazo njenganamuhla. Namuhla uwumnikazi wegaraji lakwaBP, elivulwe kabusha ngenyanga edlule eGlenwood, eThekwini. Leli garaji ngezinye zezindawo ezigqamile kulo mgwaqo elikuwona uChe Guevara (okwakuwuMoore) Road futhi abantu bayalelana ngazo. Yize lisanda kuvulwa kabusha kodwa ukuba sendaweni ephithizelayo kwenza libe matasa kakhulu. Uyazibambela kuleli bhizinisi nakuba enezisebenzi eziwu-55. Ngezikhathi zasekuseni nezantambama izimoto zisuke sezishaye ujenga zilinde ukufaka uphethroli, amanye amakhasimende ezothenga esitolo esingaphakathi. “Uma ukuleli bhizinisi akumele ube wubasi kodwa kumele uhloniphe amakhasimende. Ngiba khona (nsuku zonke) ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umsebenzi uhamba kahle. Amanye amakhasimende sengiwazi ngamagama ngenxa yobudlelwano engizama ukubakha nawo,” kulanda yena. Utshele Umbele ukuthi usebenze iminyaka ewu-16 emkhakheni kawoyela, eyiNational Health Safety Environment Quality Business Partner Manager e-Engen Reﬁnery. Nokho ukuba kulo mkhakha isikhathi eside akwenzanga wathola upotsho ukuze abe negaraji lakhe. “Akulula neze ukungena kuleli bhizinisi. Yingakho bembalwa abesifazane ngoba kusakhonya abesilisa. Abanye abesifazane noma bekhona kuleli bhizinisi kodwa ababona abanikazi ngokugcwele. Kungisizile kona ukuba semkhakheni kawoyela ngoba kungisondeze nabantu asebephumelele, ngabona nokuthi kungenwa kanjani,” kusho uNkk uNgxongo. UNkk uNgxongo, owenze ucwaningo ngalo mkhakha ngenkathi enza i-Master of Business Administration (i-MBA), uthi balinganiselwa ku-4% abesifazane abamnyama abangabanikazi ngokugcwele kule mboni. “Kudingeka ube nemali uma uzongena kuleli bhizinisi. Nami ngaqala (ngemva kwesikhathi) ngiqongelela. Uma ufuna ukuboleka imali amabhange afuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ufanelekile. Miningi imicikilisho yokugcwalisa amaphepha. Kudingeka ube okungenani no-15% noma u-20% wemali yakho ngaphambi kokuthi bakuxhase,” kunaba yena. Uthi lesi ngesinye sezizathu esenza abanye baphele amandla endleleni bengakaqali. Ngenkathi enza ucwaningo esenyuvesi, wathola ithuba lokwazana nabesifazane asebephumelele kuleli bhizinisi, wathekela ulwazi. Uthe ngesikhathi esebenza kwa-Engen ubesevele esenawo umbono wokuqala ibhizinisi kulo mkhakha. Kuthe uma ethola isikhundla sokuba yimenenja ngo-2009, wabona ukuthi lingafezeka iphupho lakhe. Uqale ngo-2019 ukubhalisela ukuba nebhizinisi, elize laphumelela kulo nyaka. Echaza ngokukhula edlala izimoto, uqale wahleka. “Ekhaya nginodadewethu oyedwa kodwa sikhulele kwamkhulu, sikhula nabafana. Besidlala izimoto neminye imidlalo yabafana. Bengiyithanda inselelo ngoba kwakona ukungena emkhakheni we-chemical engineering ngezwa kuthiwa kufuneka abahlakaniphile.” Ubonga ukwesekwa yisikhungo esicija abafuna ukuqala amabhizinisi kulo mkhakha, iPetroConnect, esungulwe wuMnu uSbonelo Mbatha, naye okule mboni. Uthi loku kumqinise ukhakhayi kuleli. Eminyakeni emithathu ezayo uzibona enamanye amagaraji kodwa usafuna ukugxila kuleli. Ngonyaka odlule uvule indawo yokudla eMbilo, ebizwa ngeThandi’s Kitchen. Uqashe abathathu kuleli bhizinisi. Akaqali ukuba sematheni njengoba kwaba njalo ngenkathi ethola iziqu zeMBA eNyuvesi yaKwaZulu-Natali, ayiphasa ngamalengiso, u-Cum laude UNkk uNgxongo okhulele eMooi River, maphakathi nesifundazwe saKwaZuluNatali, kanti usanda kuphothula izifundo ze-PhD kanti uphinde avakashele izikole afunda kuzona ukweseka izingane. Okunye ngaye: • UnguMaThabethe; • Unabantwana abathathu; • Uphumula ngokudlala imidlalo yokujabulisa abantwana futhi ukhonze nokufunda;

• Ucwaningo lwePhD yakhe lugxile kokufanele kwenziwe ukuze abesifazane babe ngabaholi ngokupheleleyo.

• Okumcasulayo ngabantu abangafuni ukuzimisela nokusebenza, nathi kwabanye uyaye akulungise ngokubacathulisa nokubaqeqesha;

UNksz uKgalegi ugqugquzele umphakathi ukuthi awuzijwayeze ukuyibhekisisa imali, wathi kunezinto ezimbalwa obona ngazo uma uphethe imali yangempela. Ezinye zalezi zinto wubuso bukaMadiba futhi isayinwa wumphathi weBhange “YibambeloMbuso. imali yakho kube ngathi uyayilula, uyibhekise phansi naphezulu. Kunomugqa okhona kuyona i-watermark, ubuso bukaMadiba kanti uma uyibhekisa phansi naphezulu kumele ubone imibala yehembe likaMadiba inyakaza. Kukhona nophawu lukahulumeni nokuthi yimalini phakathi nendawo. “Kukhona nolayini esibafakayo ukuze nabantu abangaboni bezoba nendlela abakwazi ngayo ukuhlukanisa ukuthi baphethe uR10, uR20 noma uR100. “Kunobunjiniyela nomsebenzi omningi owenziwayo uma kwakhiwa imali ukuqikelela ukuthi lena eﬁnyelela emphakathini ngeyangempela.

Unogcobo ebucayi ophethe uphiko oluqondene nokuhlinzeka iNingizimu Afrika yonke ngemali

UNksz uPearl Kgalegi uyinhloko yomNyango weCurrency Management eBhange loMbuso. Lolu wuphiko oluqinisekisa ukuthi kunemali eyanele eNingizimu Afrika futhi imali efinyelela emiphakathini iwungqo. UNksz uKgalegi, oqale kulesi sikhundla ngoMashi, uthi uwuhlobo lomholi oluzikhulumelayo ngoba ukholwa wukuthi kuhle abantu banconywe uma benze kahle noma kubhimbile ukuze kulungiswe okonakele. “Ngiwumuntu olalelayo ngoba futhi ngisuke ngifuna ukuqonda indlela omunye umuntu abuka izinto ngayo ukuze ngingajahi ukumahlulela. Ngiyile nhlobo ethi asisebenze size siwuqede umsebenzi. Uma sihluleka, sizofunda siphinde sizame. Sonke siyakusaba ukwenza amaphutha kodwa kumele uzixolele bese uyaqhubeka nempilo. “Kowami umsebenzi iphutha lingasho ukulahleka kwezigidi nezigidi kodwa awukwazi ukuthi ungaphila usaba ukwenza iphutha,” kusho yena. Lo mcwaningi ozalelwe futhi wakhulela eRockville, eSoweto, eGauteng, wumsebenzi wethimba lakhe ukuqikelela ukuthi uma umuntu ekhipha imali emshinini uyayithola. Ngezikhathi lapho abantu bethenga kakhulu khona njengamaholidi kaKhisimuzi kumele nezitolo zingashodelwa yimali. Eqala enyuvesi uNksz uKgalegi wayefisa ukuba yi-chartered accountant ngoba ayebona kuwumsebenzi ohloniphekile. Wenza i-BCom eWits University kodwa wabuye wabona akuthi akuyona into ayithandayo nakuba aziphothula. Ube esengeza nge-economics enzela ukugxila nasekucwaningeni, kwakhona ezwa ngaphakathi ukuthi usethole ngempela into ezwana naye. Uthi ukucwaninga nokufunda yinto esegazini kuyena. Ufike eBhange loMbuso eminyakeni emithathu edlule ezophatha uphiko lweResearch, Policy and Strategy. Ngaphambi kwalokho wasebenzela umNyango wezokuThutha kanti into enkulu ayeyenza ngaleso sikhathi wukulungisa izinkinga zesiminyaminya nokungasebenzi kahle emingceleni yeNingizimu Afrika namanye amazwe – omunye umsebenzi obucayi. “Kwakuyinto enkulu ukulungisa izinkinga emingceleni. Ngiyazi ukuthi asizilungisanga zonke ngoba iBeitbridge (umngcele owelela eZimbabwe) iseyinkinga. Kepha uma ngibheka emuva, umngcele phakathi kweNingizimu Afrika neBotswana, umngcele phakathi kweBotswana neZambia, kwalungiseka… kwasebenza. Sasebenza senza ucwaningo, sihlanganisa, sasingenza okungaphezu kwaloko kodwa ngiyaziqhenya ngesakwenza. Nanamhlanje uma ngibuka indlela izinto ezisebenza kahle ngayo, ugxiviza kanye hhayi kaningi njengasekuqaleni, ngiyaziqhenya ngaloko,” kusho yena ngenhliziyo ethe kla. Uke wasebenzela umnyango osubizwa ngowokuHweba, Izimboni nokuNcintisana. Khona wasebenza ngezinhlelo nazo ezaba nomphumela omuhle emazweni amaningi e-Afrika, iNEPAD neyahlanganisa izivumelwano zokusebenzisana zokuhwebelana nokubambisana phakathi kwamazwe ase-Afrika. Wayesethimbeni futhi elalisebenza kubunjwa ibhange elihlanganiswe yiBrazil, iRussia, i-India, iChina neNingizimu Afrika, iBrics Bank. UNksz Kgalegi, okhuliswe ngabazali bakhe noninakhulu, uthe bayaye bafundise abamabhange, abezitolo nomphakathi ngokukwazi ukubona imali ewumkokotelo kodwa lona ngumsebenzi ophazanyiswe yiCOVID-19. Uthi isithunzi nokuthembeka kwemali kunesandla ekutheni imali yalelo zwe iba namandla angakanani nokungakho kumqoka kubona ukuthi wonke umuntu azi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi uyibona kanjani imali ewumkokotelo. “Kunento ebizwa nge-Currency Protection Device (iCPD) ekhona kuyona yonke imishini yokukhipha imali. I-CPD yiyona lena esiza ukuthi sibone uma umuntu ephethe imali engatholakala ngendlela esemthethweni ngoba iyona lena ekhipha u-ink lona ochithekela emalini uma kuvulwa i-ATM ngendluzula.

“Ekufundiseni kwethu abamabhizinisi kumele bazi ukuthi kufanele benze njani uma beqondana naleyo mali. Kokunye mhlawumbe umuntu ozothenga uﬁka nemali edabukile noma esihlanganiswe nge-sellotape, nalapho kumele abezitolo bazi ukuthi benzenjani, bayayamukela yini leyo mali.”

Ugqugquzele nabantu ukuthi basebenzise ne-app exoxa yonke into ngemali babone kahle lezi zinto okumele baziqaphele. Uthi kunomlando wemali kanti ngo-2023 bazokwethula imali entsha. UNksz uKgalegi uthi kuningi asekufundile kule minyaka emithathu eseBhange loMbuso kanti uthi umuntu omcathulise kakhulu nguMaggie Mogape osesebenze kuleli bhange iminyaka ewu-20, nathi umfundise yonke into futhi ubehlala kuze kube sebusuku besebenza. Okunye ngaye: • Ufunde e-boarding school eNorth West; • Une-MBA yaseMilpark Business School; • Wenze i-International Executive Development Programme eLondon Business School naseWits University; • Uchitha isizungu ngokudlala i-netball, ukuqwala izintaba nokwenza izinto nendodana yakhe; • Ukhonze i-pizza kodwa yena nekhishi ngamanzi namafutha;

izinselelo futhi ngiwumuntu onganqeni ukuzama izinto noma zibukeka zinobungozi. Ibhizinisi enganginalo ngaleso sikhathi lali ngahambi kahle. Kwakuyisikhathi somsindo (ngendaba) yaseNkandla, uThuli Madonsela ekhiphe umbiko ngokuqhwagwa koMbuso nokwakunomthelela omubi emnothweni, kuthikameza imboni engangikuyona nokwangenza ngavele ngayithanda yonke into engayizwa ngezolimo. “Ngaqala ngenza ucwaningo ngizama ukuqonda kahle ngezolimo eNingizimu Afrika kodwa ngangingababoni abantu abafana nami – abesifazane, abamnyama futhi abancane. Kunaloko ngangibona kugcwele amadoda amadala futhi okungabantu ababeqhubeka nomsebenzi owawuqalwe ngabazali babo kanti amanye amapulazi ayewa ngenxa yesomiso,” kukhumbula yena.

UNksz uNwoko uneziqu ze-BComm Industrial Psychology. Ngaphambi kokuba wumlimi, wayenenkampani esiza izinkampani uma zifuna ukugcwalisa izikhala neyayigxile ezimbonini ezifana nezobunjiniyela. “Ekwenzeni kwami ucwaningo ngangihlangana nezindaba ezazingikhombisa ukuthi kumnyama nakuyona le mboni yezolimo engifuna ukungena kuyona kodwa mina ngabona ithuba yize kunjalo. Loku nje kokuthi ngangingababoni abantu besifazane abamnyama futhi abancane njengami kwangenza ngabona elikhulu ithuba,” kusho yena. Nakuba beba khona abangamthembi ngoba emncane kodwa kodwa kumsebenzele uNksz uNwoko njengoba namhlanje engagcini nje ngokuba wumlimi kuphela kodwa unengosi yezolimo ayibhalela iFarmer’s Weekly, unane-podcast ngezolimo, isibalo sabalaleli bayo esikhula ngamandla kanti usewole nenqwaba yemiklomelo kule mboni. E-Green Terrace utshala isipinashi nezinhlobo ezihlukene zika-pepper. Uqale kade eqashe ipulazi elinamahektha awu-14 kodwa manje usethuthele kwelincane elinamahektha amabili kodwa eligabe ngokusebenzisa kakhulu ubuchwepheshe besimanjemanje. “Izinto ziyehla zenyuke futhi sekuke kwanezikhathi lapho bekunzima khona okwangempela kodwa njalo ngiyabona ukuthi kungani ngibizelwe kulo msebenzi. Kumnandi, abantu esengihlangane nabo bayangisiza uma bebona ukuthi ngizimisele ngempela, sekuke kwasa ngaﬁca izitshalo ziﬁle zonke ngenxa yesimo sezulu; kwacwila yonke imali ngasala nginesikweletu sikaR100 000. Unyaka u-2016 kwakuwunyaka wokuthi ngifunde ngempela,” kusho uNksz uNwoko. Kuleli pulazi elisha usetshale kwingqalasizinda yobuchwepheshe kaR4 million; nokuyimali ayihlanganise ngabeyilondoloza kwathi enye wacela amakhasimende akhe ukuthi amlekelele ngokuzibophezela emigomweni nemibandela ethize ngokwezivumelwano zakhe. Kumsizile nokuthi epulazini elidala kukhona akutholile ngoba nalo wayesilithuthukisile. Njengosomabhizinisi abaningi abancane naye waqala wayongqongqoza emabhange kodwa imizamo yakhe yafana nesithukuthuku epulazini elisha wukuthi batshale endaweni evalekile nokusho ukuthi akukhathaleki ukuthi isimo sezulu sinjani kodwa bayakwazi ukuya emasimini, bavune futhi ayikho ingozi yokulimala kwezisebenzi njengokuthi zishelele odakeni. “Sisebenzisa indlela yokutshala okuthiwa yi-hydroponic nokusho ukuthi

WAYENGAKAZE aziphuphe ewumlimi futhi wayengazitsheli ukuthi yimboni umuntu ofana naye angangena kuyona ngoba wayecabanga ukuthi ngeyabantu abacebile futhi abakhule vele emakubo kunamapulazi. Kodwa langa limbe exoxa nomunye umngani wakhe owayesengenile kule mboni, wavuleka amehlo ngenkathi emchazela ukuthi awudingi ukuthi uze ube nepulazi kodwa uyakwazi ukuwuqasha umhlaba futhi akumele kube wukuthi udayisela izitolo ezinkulu kuphela kodwa ungathengisela noma wubani ngoba wonke umuntu uyakudinga ukudla nsuku zonke. Kwathi qwebu kuNksz uMbali Nwoko, isikhulu esiphezulu seGreen Terrace, kanti emva kwaloko akapholisanga maseko njengoba kwathi emva kwamasonto amabili exoxe nomngani wakhe, wabhalisa inkampani “Ngiyazithandayakhe.

Okunyesenja.okuhlukile

Uneminyaka emihlanu eqalile kwezolimo kodwa ugila izimanga. Uwola imiklomelo, ungafunga ukuthi selokhu kwathi nhlo, yiyona nto ayenzayo

asitshali ngqo emhlabathini nokusho ukuthi asikho isidingo sabantu abazohlakula ukhula. Sinanekhompyutha okuyiyona esitshelayo ukuthi sekumele sichelele noma sekumele sifake umanyolo, hhayi lokhu kwakudala okuwukuthi sasizicabangela thina ukuthi cishe manje sekumele sichelele ngisho kungathiwa izitshalo azikawadingi amanzi. Iyasitshela futhi ikhompyutha uma kuwukuthi kunamapayiphi avalekile. “Sisebenzisana nanabantu abahlanganisa i-app ezoqopha okwenzeka epulazini. Le ndlela yokulima inciphisa amaphutha,” kusho yena. Epulazini uqashe abantu abayisihlanu ngoba eminye imisebenzini iseyenziwa wubuchwepheshe kanti ngesizini iyodwa isivuno sakhe singamathani awu-180 000. Imboni yezolimo ngenye okwaziwayo ukuthi ubandlululo ludlangile kuyona kodwa uNksz uNwoko uthi akakaze aqondane nokucwaswa ngokwebala, kunalokho yiminyaka nanobulili bakhe abantu abake bamcwase ngakho. Uthe intsha emnyama ingangena futhi iyadingeka kulo mkhakha kodwa wathi kumele kulungiswe izinto ezenza kube lukhuni ukungena ngoba yimboni izinto zakhona ezibizayo kanti neminye imigomo njengeyokubolekwa imali ngamabhange ayibavuni futhi kukhona nokuthi isuke ingaqhamuki emindenini yabalimi. UNksz uNokwo uzalwe futhi wakhulela eGoli kanti unendodana eneminyaka emine.

KUBANTU abaningi ukudla okonakele nomunye udoti yizinto okufanele zilahlwe ngoba zisuke zingasenamsebenzi walutho. Kepha kunomlimi imfucuza eyigugu kuye njengoba ingenye yezinto azisebenzisayo ukuqhamuka nezindlela ezintsha zokulima, ezinempilo futhi ezivikela imvelo.

UNksz uThandiwe Mchunu, ongumlimi waseMahlongwa, ogwini oluseningizimu yeKwaZulu-Natali, wala ukhasha ngokudla okonakele njengoba esebenzisa kona ukukhiqiza umanyolo, okumnciphisela izindleko eMchunu Farm nasepulazini elilawulwa yiNtuba yoMnotho Co-op. UNksz uMchunu ugxile ekutshaleni iklabishi alidayisela umphakathi wendawo, amakhasimende athengisa ezimakethe ezinkulu zamaveji nezitolo ezinkulu zokudla. Uhlanganisa nezithombo azidayisela abanye abalimi. Eminye imikhiqizo enjengespinashi, u-pepper, no-anyanisi, uyitshalela kakhulu ukuthi kudle umndeni wakhe. “Ngiyakuthanda ukudlala ngenhlabathi futhi kuyangijabulisa nokubona into entsha iqhamuka enhlabathini. Uma ngibona u-green pepper usukhulile, ngesikhathi ngisahlala emqashweni ngangivele ngiwuthathe ngiwulume ngaso leso sikhathi. “Engadini yilapho mina ngipholisa khona ikhanda, angiyi kobhucabhucwa noma ukuyojima. Uma ngihlakula ngikhipha ukhula, ungibona sengimoyizela ngedwa,” kusho yena. Nakuba ekhule ebona unina elima umbila, amakinati, amadumbe nobhatata kodwa akuwona umsebenzi aqale wawunaka. Uyi-chemical engineer eqeqeshwe eMangosuthu University of Technology nase-Unisa, nokuyiwona msebenzi aqale wagxila Uqalekuwona.ukulima ngo-2020 emva kokubuyela ekhaya uma kuvalwe izwe ngoba enzela ukuthi bangakusweli ukudla kubo. Isivuno sakhe savela saba siningi wagcina esedayisela umphakathi wangakubo nabaphekela izikole. Umsebenzi uphinde wakhuliswa nawukukhangisa kwakhe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.

njengoba kuwulwazi lwakhona alusebenzisayo ukuthuthukisa indlela alima ngayo. UNksz uMchunu umatasa nocwaningo lwezifundo ze-MSc in Chemical Engineering alwenza e-University of KwaZulu-Natal lapho exhaswe khona yiCouncil for Scientiﬁc Research (iCSIR) ngomfundaze. Ngemva kokubona umsebenzi wakhe, iCSIR yamkhuthaza ukuthi ucwaningo lwakhe alugxile ekubhekeni ukuthi kungaguqulwa kanjani ukudla okonakele ukukuphendula umkhiqizo owusizo. Uqhathanisa umanyolo owenziwe ngokudla okonakele nowenziwe ngezinsalela uma kugaywa utshwala nangotshani nezitshalo ezingadingeki ezinjengomAbanyesilinga. abantu abamxhasile wuphiko lweNhlangano yeZizwe i-United Nations Development Programme (i-UNDP). EMchunu Farm abagcini nje ngokukhiqiza umanyolo ngokudla okudala kodwa baphinde bakhiqize negesi abapheka ngayo, i-bio gas, nathi ingcono kakhulu kunegesi ejwayelekile yeLPG ngendlela evutha ngayo, iphunga layo futhi ayiyicekeli phansi imvelo. Nokho uthe akukaﬁki ezingeni lokuthi bangayidayisela umphakathi ngoba basaqhubeka Uthinokucwaninga.umsebenzi wakhe wokuba yi-chemical engineer awusho ukuthi kufanele asebenze ngamakhemikhali kuphela.

Nokho ugcizelela ukuthi abayona inkulisa, okusho ukuthi abakwenzayo akugxilile ekufundiseni izingane umsebenzi wesikole nakuba zikhona izinto izingane abazifundisa zona njengama-puzzle, ukudweba, ubuciko Okwamanjenezemidlalo.iHOP isazinze KwaMashu kubo kwaNksz uYika, lapho eqashe khona abantu ababili kanti nonina owuthisha osathatha umhlalaphansi Ukugadelwauyalekelela.inganekuqala kuR70 kuye nokuthi udinga ukugadelwa isikhathi esingakanani nokuthi ingane isuke izoziphathela yini ukudla noma umzali uyiletha nokwayo.

Okunye asebekwengezile yimicimbi yokungcebelekisa izingane njengokuthi babe nosuku lapho behlelela khona izingane ukuthi zibuke iﬁlimu.

UDUME ngokuthanda izingane emndenini wakhe kangangokuthi ngisho kunomcimbi kubo uyaziwa ukuthi yena unakekela izingane. Bathi abanye bezikhathaza ngokuthi konke kumi ngomumo yini ngomcimbi, yena usuke ebuza ukuthi izingane zihlinzekelwe ngakho konke yini ezizokudinga njengokudla, indawo yokulala nokunye.

UNksz uYika usebenzela umNyango wezobuLungisa lapho eyi-intermediary yezingane. Emsebenzini usebenza ngezingane ezihlukunyezwe ngezindlela ezihlukene kanti yena umsebenzi wakhe wukukhulumela ingane uma kusuke kufanele ithule ubufakazi enkantolo. Uthi umsebenzi wakhe eHOP ngenye yezindlela azisebenzisayo ukukhohlwa yilezi zinto ezibuhlungu abhekana nazo emsebenzini. Kepha futhi uyalusebenzisa nalolu lwazi lwasemsebenzini ukufundisa izingane ngezinto okufanele zizigade, ikakhulukazi ngendlela ezithintwa ngayo “Ngiyabafundisaemzimbeni. abantwana ukucebana, yinto engiyikhuthaza kakhulu ngoba izinto zihlala obala uma umntwana eceba,” kusho uNksz uYika.

Uthi kukhona nezinduna ezibangwa yixhala. Uthi abantu besilisa banenhlanhla ngoba abakaze bangene shi ogibeni lokusebenzisa imithi yesikhumba yesilungu. Banekhambi labantu besilisa abajulukayo; bakhiqiza insipho ethakwe ngelahle. “Senza namafutha ezinwele. Uma izinwele zakho zoma, uma izinwele zingakhuli, sinawo amafutha emveljo.

Usebhale nencwadi esihloko sithi Reﬂections of a Convoluted Mind: A Journey with my Mental Illness. Uthi lena yincwadi eyamsiza emva kokuthi “ewile” ukugula kwakhe kwamehla ngenhla washiya imiyalezo eyayinganambitheki kwenye i-WhatsApp Group ayeyikuyona. Uthi ukusabalaliswa kwaleyo miyalezo kwamhlukumeza kodwa ngosizo lomndeni wakhe, odokotela nomkhuleko wadlula kusona. Yizwa echaza ngokubhala incwadi.

Kumzalele nebhizinisi iVocal Mentality. Le nkampani yakhe eneminyaka emibili igxile ekufundiseni abantu nge-bipolar ezinkampanini nasemphakathini. UDkt uNgcobo ufundisa ngokusebenzisa impilo yakhe nolwazi analo njengodokotela; nokho akasiye udokotela ogxile ekwelapheni izifo ezithinta umphefumulo nengqondo. Uma eyichaza i-bipolar, uDkt uNgcobo uthi lesi yisifo esenza imizwa yomuntu ingasebenzi kahle futhi indlela umuntu asuke ezizwa ngayo ngalelo langa iba mandla njengokuthi uma umuntu ejabule, ujabula kuze kweqe kanti uma edangele, ucobeka “Ngangimncanekakhulu.kakhulu ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthi kwenzakalani ngami. Abantu ababona ukuthi kukhona okushaya amanzi ngabazali bami. Yize ngangimncane kodwa into engangiyibona wukuthi imizwa yami yayiba ngaphezu kwengikwazi ukukumela. Ngangicabanga nokuthi wukucikeka nokushintsha kwemizwa okuhambisana nesigaba sokukhula kodwa abazali bami babona ukuthi kuyanyukela. “Ngangithi uma ngithule ngithule kakhulu futhi vele ngangingeyena umuntu okhuluma kakhulu ngaleso sikhathi. Kepha ngase ngiqala ukusho ukuthi ngibona abantu abangasekho, ngikhuluma nabo, ngizwa izinto ezindlebeni bona ababengaziboni. Abazali bami bangiyisa kwi-psychologist, yona eyagcina ingidlulisela kwi-psychiatrist, ngalala esibhedlela. Izinto zaba nzima esefundela ukuba wudokotela e-University of KwaZulu-Natal njengoba ethi wayelala esibhedlela okungenani kabili noma kanye ngonyaka. “Kwakulukhuni ukwamukela ukuphila (nalesi sifo) futhi ngangingawadli amaphilisi. Angiqedanga ngesikhathi okwakufanele ngiqede ngaso. Ukuthi ngafunda ngaze ngaqeda ukuba wudokotela kuyamangalisa futhi yinto engiyibongayo kakhulu.” UDkt uNgcobo, oneminyaka ewu-35, uzalelwe futhi wakhulela eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natali. Uthi enye yezinto edingekayo uma sekwaziwa ukuthi une-bipolar wukuthi udle amaphilisi impilo yakho yonke nokuthola usizo lwe-psychologist. I-Vocal Mentality ihlomisa abantu ngalo lonke lolu lwazi. Omunye umsebenzi omkhulu owenziwa yile nkampani wukwenza abantu baqonde kahle abantu abane-bipolar ukuze bezogada nendlela abababuka ngayo nabakhuluma ngayo ngabo njengoba kwesinye isikhathi kungabantu okuvele kuthiwe baneconsi noma banenhliziyo encane. UDkt uNgcobo wake wahlukumezeka naye ngezindlela ezihlukene abantu bembiza ngohlanya, bethi unamadimoni futhi uyathakatha. Ngaphambi kokusungula iVocal Mentality, uDkt uNgcobo ubeqashwe wumNyango wezeMpilo ewudokotela wezifo zonke. Ubezenzela eceleni umsebenzi wokufundisa ngezifo eziphazamisa ingqondo emphakathini, emasontweni nasezinkampanini. Kugcine kuholele ekutheni agxile kuwona. Uthi ukunakwa kwalezi zifo, okunyuke kakhulu emva kweCOVID-19, kukhulise umsebenzi awenzayo. Kepha naye uyabhekana nezinselelo bonke abanye osomabhizinisi abasafufusa ababhekana nazo. “Kunzima ukuzisebenza, angifuni ukuqamba amanga. Uma uqashiwe unosuku ohola ngalo. Kodwa uma uzisebenza kulukhuni, ikakhulukazi ngasekuqaleni ngoba usadinga abantu bakuthembe, kufanele ukwazi ukubekezela, sengifunde ukuphokophela nokubekezela. Abantu uma bekhuluma ngokuzisebenza baye benze sengathi kumnandi futhi kulula kodwa akunjalo. Awunaso isikhathi sokuthi ungena ngesikhathi esiwukuthi, uphume ngesithile, usebenza noma yinini.”

Nanamuhla luyamsiza njengoba ekwazi ukuphila impilo ejwayelekile njengawo wonke umuntu nakuba enesinye sezifo okunzima ukuziqonda kubantu abamnyama, i-bipolar. Akukhona nje loku akuhlomula ngokugula kwakhe uDkt uSamke Ngcobo.

Usesungule nenhlangano engenzi inzuzo iSisters for Mental Health. Igxile ekutheni abantu babenesigcawu lapho bengakhuluma khona bakhululeke ngezinselelo zezifo zengqondo. Uthi kuyathokozisa ukubona ukuthi izifo zengqondo sekukhulunywa ngazo njalo eNingizimu Afrika hhayi nje ngo-Okthoba kuphela, inyanga yokuqwashisa ngazo. UDkt uNgcobo uwumsakazi kwiWoman Radio, esakaza kwi-internet, lapho enohlelo olufundisa ngezifo eziphazamisa ingqondo.

UKUBHUNTSHA kwezinhlelo zokubuyela embonini ayifundele nayizwa ngaphakathi ngenxa yeCOVID-19 kuphenduke isibusiso njengoba egcine eqhamuka nomqondo webhizinisi elingavamile kubantu abamnyama.

UNkk uMngadi, oneminyaka ewu-38 nodabuka eMandeni, KwaZulu-Natali, uthi wabona ithuba ngesikhathi izwe livaliwe. “Into engayiqaphela ngesikhathi izwe livaliwe ngokwesigaba sesihlanu nesesine wukuthi baningi abapheki abaqhamuka, abantu babepheka ngapha nangapha. Nami ngangipheka ukuxosha ukhwantalala ngoba sasidiliziwe nasemsebenzini futhi ngase ngikhathele nawukugijima. “Kodwa ngaqaphela ukuthi ngathi ngiyothenga kwenye inxanxathela yezitolo, isitolo sezitsha ezinhle engangilokhu ngizibona sasivaliwe kwase kuyangifikela ukuthi mhlawumbe into engingayenza wukusungula isitolo sezitsha namabhodwe okudayiswa online Wabe esebonisana nababesebenzisana naye oyi-graphic designer bahlanganisa umqondo wokuthi lizoba yinhloboni yebhodwe ibhodwe labo. Bavumelana ngokuthi akufanele licwebezele ngoba amabhodwe amaningi ayacwebezela futhi babefuna ibhodwe elizoqhakambisa ukuthi ngelase-Afrika, nokungakho bethathele kugalaza. Empeleni uNkk uMngadi nomyeni wakhe babezovula indawo yokudlela engaseHazelmere Dam eVerulam, eThekwini, ngePhasika lango-2020. Nokho lezo zinhlelo zamiswa wukuvalwa kwezwe ngenkathi kuhlasela iCOVID-19. Kuthe uma kuvulwa izwe bayethula ngoJulayi ngawo u-2020 kodwa kwasho ukuthi umnotho wawungemuhle futhi abantu babesasaba ukuvakasha. Bobabili bangabantu bemboni yezokudlela nokutetemukisa abantu. UNkk uMngadi wenza i-Hospitality Management eML Sultan (esibizwa ngeDurban University of Technology) kanti usebenze kule mboni iminyaka ngaphambi kokushintshela kuhulumeni nasembonini yezimali. Umyeni wakhe wayekade enendawo yokudlela ngesikhathi beqala ukuhlangana. Ukhamba Cookware luqale ukudayisa ngoSepthemba nyakenye kanti uthe uphela u-2021 bese bedayise amasethi awu-56. Into abayithengayo isinqe sebhodwe kodwa konke okunye bayazenzela futhi bazihlanganisele ibhodwe liphelele. “NgoJanuwari sadayisa (amasethi) awu-36, nokwasijabulisa ngoba uJanuwari sazi ukuthi abantu basuke bengenayo imali kodwa samangala sibona ukuthi abantu abazweli. Ziloku zinyukile izibalo njengoba kusukela ngaleso sikhathi asikaze sidayise ngaphansi kuka-30. “Kuyisifiso sethu ukuthi Ukhamba lugcine lutholakala kwezinye zezitolo, umuntu akwazi ukungena esitolo awathole amabhodwe, iyona (nto) engiyibhekile ngo-2022,” kusho yena. Isethi yoKhamba ibiza uR2 500 kanti uyabavumela nalabo abathenga inqwaba kuyena ngoba befuna ukuyodayisa nabo. Banabantu abayisithupha abasebenzisana nabo abadayisayo ezindaweni ezihlukene. Abantu bayakwazi ukufaka ama-oda kuWhatsApp noma uFacebook. Ukuphazamiseka kwendawo yokudla kwasho nokucwila kwayo yonke imali ababeyongile bewumndeni. Nokho bavuke bazithatha. Yizwa echaza uNkk Mngadi ukuthi bagqugquzelwe yini. Sebegcine beyivulile indawo yokudla iHazelmere Lounge.
