“Njengoba sengibe semkhakheni wezomculo cishe iminyaka engama-30, ngifunde lukhulu kubaculi asebemnkantshubomvu. Ngibone abaculi abasafufusa bechitha imali ngezimoto eziwubukhazikhazi beqasha amaflethi aphezulu.
“Ngalokho okuncane engikwenzayo ngibona kuwubuhlakani ukutshala imali kwezolimo. Njengamanje nginabasebenzi abathathu kodwa inhloso enkulu ukuqasha abaningi kakhulu ngoba sifuna ukuthuthukisa abantu bendawo.
