Indoda yaseKapa yaseDunoon ilandele impumlo yayo ekubeni ngusomashishini.
Utata onamashumi amathathu anesihlanu (35) wabantwana ababini, uKhanyisile Stemela, onabantwana abaneminyaka elishumi elineshumi elinesithathu leminyaka, uphawule ingxaki elula kodwa engahoywanga: imigqomo kamasipala eParklands North, indawo entsha yokwakhiwa kwezindlu eRivergate, nasePioneer Valley, ihleli imdaka kwaye inevumba emva kokuthululwa rhoqo ngeveki ngabaqokeleli benkunkuma.
Abahlali, abaninzi abasebenza ezibhankini, kwiinkonzo zikawonke-wonke nabezomthetho, babengenalo ixesha okanye utyekelo lokubacoca.
UStemela, owachitha iminyaka echola-chola umsebenzi ngamaxesha athile ukuze ondle intsapho yakhe, wabona ithuba apho abanye babona nje inkcitho.
Ene-R2,200 nje kuphela egameni lakhe, uye wasungula inkonzo yokucoca imigqomo kaSeptemba ophelileyo, ebhalisa amakhaya ali-12 kusuku lwakhe lokuqala emva kokubona imigqomo egungxulwayo ezitalatweni.
Ilizwi lasasazeka ngokukhawuleza, kwaye wongeza abathengi abaninzi, ekugqibeleni wakhulisa isiseko sakhe ukuya kwi-100.
Ngenyanga yoKwindla walo nyaka, uStemela wayesele esesikweni, ebhalisa inkampani yakhe yokucoca, iCargo Cleaning Services, kwiCIPC.
Ukuphumelela kweshishini lakhe kumvumele ukuba aqeshe abasebenzi abane bengxungxo, umntu ngamnye erhola i-R800 ngenyanga, ukuncedisa ekuhlambeni imigqomo kwiParklands North, Rivergate, nasePioneer Valley, esusa hayi nje ubumdaka, kodwa ukungaqiniseki kwezemali okuthe kwabeka ithunzi elide ebomini bakhe.
“Bekunzima ukuphila, ngamanye amaxesha uye ugqibele ukwindawo engafanelekanga nabantu abangalunganga kuba ungaphangeli, awukwazi nokuthenga icuba, ngamanye amaxesha udibana nabafana abangalunganga bakunika iingcinga ezimbi, iindlela ezimfutshane ukuze wenze imali ekhawulezileyo, kunzima kakhulu ukungaphangeli, kodwa ndasinda,” utsho uStemela.
Ngaphambi kokuba aqalise ishishini lakhe, wayesenza zonke iintlobo zemisebenzi. Omnye wabo ebempompa ipetroli, nalapho akwazile ukonga iR2,200. Kamva, ngoxa wayencedisa umntu osebenza ngemibhobho yamanzi eRivergate, waphawula indlela eyayingcole ngayo imigqomo emva kokuba iilori zenkunkuma zidlule.
Esebenzisa imali awayeyigcinile, wathenga imichiza kunye nezibulali-ntsholongwane, wasonga imikhono yakhe waza wakhuhla ukuze aqalise ukuhlamba imigqomo yakhe.
“Ndandicinga ukuba le nto ndingaziphilisa ngayo, bekungoLwesine xa iilori zikamasipala zithululela imigqomo, kodwa zabashiya bemdaka, ndabhalisa abathengi abali-12 ngoko nangoko.
Ukanti, iingxaki zisaqhubeka.
Uthi uswele iveni, nto leyo emenza angakwazi ukuhamba, kwaye ukwiphulo lokuyithenga.
Iikhemikhali kunye nezibulali ntsholongwane azifunayo nazo ziyabiza, nanjengoko kungekho bathengisi balapha eKapa, nto leyo emnyanzele ukuba azifunele eRhawutini.
UBulelwa Mkubalo, umama ongenaqabane nongumnini-khaya kuphuhliso olutsha lwaseRivergate emva kwale mizi mveliso, ngomnye wabaxumi bakwaStemelas. UMkubalo uthi inkonzo yakwaStemelas iyancomeka.
“Sikhulele kwiintsapho apho abazali bethu bebengazimiselanga kwezoshishino.Kuyamangalisa ke ukubona umfana ontsundu eqala ishishini ngendlela echubekileyo kwezoshishino.Ngexesha apho imisebenzi imbalwa kakhulu, akagcini nje ngokubeka ukutya etafileni yakhe kodwa ukwabonelela abanye ngokubaqesha.Akalindi isibonelelo sikarhulumente sabantu abangathathi ntweni, nto leyo engenzi nto ngokuziphakamisayo. Mkubalo.
Ukwathe uStemela uye wathembeka kubathengi bakhe, ebavumela ukuba bashiye amasango okhuseleko evuliwe.
“Ngelixa uIm ndisemsebenzini kuthululwa imigqomo, ufike athathe umgqomo awucoce, aphinde awubuyisele eyadini, ndifike endlini ndifike indlu yam ikhuselekile, ndingenaxhala lokuqhekezwa.
Omnye umthengi ovuyayo, uThobela Booysen, uthi wazi kakuhle ukuba uStemelas usuka phi nanjengoko naye ekhule ngendlela efanayo naselokishini.
Ekufudukeleni kwakhe kwikhaya lakhe elitsha, uBooysen uthe, wafumana uStemela enikezela ngenkonzo eyamsindisayo kwingxaki yokukhuhla umgqomo wakhe emva kokuqokelelwa ngumasipala.
“Uqokelela umgqomo, awucoce, awubuyise unuka kamnandi, utshilo uBooysen.
Kwaye uStemelas unezicwangciso ezinkulu.
“Ndifuna ukudala amathuba emisebenzi njengoko likhula eli shishini, ndiyise nakwamanye amaphondo, ndajika ndalishishini,” utshilo.
