lmeyitroni engazixelanga igama ixelele IBONA ukuba uElisha uthe akufika eNgcolosi Nospital labe elo qhuma seiibhidlikile, unokubona nje ithambo.
Okubona apha kungcono kunento ebeyiyo.

24 BONA XHOSA - September 1997


U
 MILES DIBAKOANE (47) utixhalabele ixesha. Uyaqonda
ukuba ixesha lifana nemali, unenkoleto yokuba mzuzu
ngamnye ochithiweyo ufana nokulahlekelwa yimati. Kungako ishishini lakhe elikhulu lotywala elikubhazabhaza iVulindlela lriclustrial Heights eMtata lisebenza iiyure ezingama-24 ngemini.
Yonk into iqala ngomnqweno, utshilo encumile. Nawuphi na umnqweno othembisayo xa ufezwa kufuneka ube neziphumo ezihle - ndenjenjalo mna! Izinto ezintle azifiki kwabalindayo koclwa zenzeka kwabazifezekisayo.
La ngamazwi obulumko athethwe lityendyana elisisilumko elaqata Iasebenza kwindawo ebhaka izonka, Iemka apho tayokuqhuba kwindawo esila utywala, Ianyuselwa tangummeli wale nkampani yotywala ngoku lingusomashishini obalaseleyo. Konke kwenzeke kuma-27 eminyaka!
lzinto ziqalise ukunik umdla kum xa ndalishiya ikapa ndeza eTranskei ngo-1 984 ndingummeli kwezentengiso zakwaSouth African Breweries. UThembisa endandithandana naye ngoko wayesebenza kwaGilbeys.
Ndaqonda ukuba mna naye zininzi izinto esifana ngazo -wayenqwenela ukuba neshishini, wayekwazi ukumelana

UMlles uqale wathengisa utywa!a ngokungemthetho phambi kokuba abe sisinhanha. Ngoku uneshishini lotywala eliye lichuma.

nobunzima nokusebenza kwiimeko ezingentte. Unamandla
ekwazi nokuqhuba itori.
UMiles noThembisa batshate ngo-1988, ngoku
banabantwana abane.
Ngokokutsho kukaMiles, nguThembisa owafezekisa
iminqweno yabo yeshishini ngokuyeka ukuphangela kwaGilbeys
abe neshishini kwidolophu yakowabo.
UThembisa akazange alinde, wazibhokoxa kwishishini. Ngaphambi koku sobabini sasithengisa utywala singenalayisensi. UThembisa wayelayisha ilori yakhe atshone ngapha nam ndenjenjalo. Uzameka Gqamane wayesithengisela utywata eDutywa. Oku sakwenza iminyaka emi-3 1/2 de saqesha ilayisensi kumhlobo.
Xa ndandisebenza njengommeli wenkampani ndabhaqa ivenkite ethengisa utywala eCoffee Bay neyayibukeka itshona kodwa noko ayekho amathemba. Ndayiqesha kumniniyo okweminyaka emihlanu ndaza emva koko ndayithatha.
Kwenzeka ngokweminqweno yam, ishishini tachuma. Ndathenga ilori yam yokuqala kusomashishini uArchie Nkonyeni. Ndafumana ivenkile kwiTranskei Development corporation (TDC) apho ndakwazi ukurhweba ama-24 eeyure ngemini!
Ngathi oku kwakunganele, uMites uthenge isiza
esasisetyenziswa ngabakwaGilbeys. Iofisi awayefuduta
esebenza kuyo uThembisa ngoku ikufutshane neyalo mfo.
Esi sibini senze inkqubeta encumisayo. Sineevenkile zotywala ezimbini - enye iseMtata ukanti enye isekapa. SineBangkok Factory Fashion Clothing Boutique eMtata, indawo yokubhaka izonka Engcobo nesilarha eVulindlela apho abathengi bakhe banokukhululeka boje.
Akubuzwa ngempumelelo yakhe uMiles uthetha
ngentsebenziswano entle, imvano nenkosikazi yakhe
nabasebenzi, ubuhlobo nomntu ngamnye kumawakawaka
