Ngowezi-2003, iqembu labahola impesheni Kwa-Thema lahlangana ndawonye ukwakha i-Leratong Vegetable Garden Project okwakuhloswe ngayo ukuhlomisa umphakathi.

Eminyakeni emine kamuva, okuwukuphela kwesibonakaliso sokuthi indawo yayikade iyipulazi yizihlahla ezimbalwa zamapentshisi ezifile kanye namamaki ahlukanisa iziza.
Omunye wabaholi bamaqembu lasebekhulile, uSophy Skhosana uthe ngolunye usuku ekuseni eminyakeni emine eyedlule baya kule ndawo bathola iqulu labantu abasha bakha indawo yokuwasha izimoto.
“Ngaleso sikhathi sabacela ukuthi bathembise ukungaphazamisi iphrojekthi yethu ngemuva kwezinyanga baqala ukuqhubekela phambili endaweni yethu,” esho.
“Amalungu ayekhuluma futhi ephikisana nalesi senzo asongelwa ngempilo yawo futhi amanye amalungu ayeka ukulima”.
USkhosana uthe lo msebenzi wawenzelwe ukuba ube yifa lalo mphakathi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi awekho amakhaya kule ndawo alala engadlile nokwakha amathuba emisebenzi.
