Akade behola imashi baveze ukuthi kulonyaka akuzange kubhaliswe noyedwa umfundi kulelikolishi. Bathi lokhu kungabhaliswa kwabafundi kwenziwe ngaphandle kokuxoxisana nabathintekayo.
Okunye okubaluliwe ohlwini kube ukungavunyelwa kwabafundi kulelikholishi ukuba bamelelwe izinyonyana zabo umabezoqondiswa izigwegwe. Okube undabuzekwayo udaba lokuhlukumezeka kwabasebenzi abaqashwa inkampani thizeni. Ohlwini lwezikhalazo kubaliwe ukuthi abasebenzi balenkampani abaphathwa ngendlela futhi basebenzela imali encane kanti basebenza amahora amaningi abaphinde bangakhokhelwa. Kuthiwa nezinkontileka abaqashe ngazo abanikiwe. Abamashi bathi bacela ukuba labo basebenzi abaxoshwa ilenkampani babuyiselwe ngokushesha bese lenkampani iyayekiswa ukusebenza. Kukhalazwe nagamahlebezi okuqhashwa kwabantu ngobuhlobo kulesibhedlela. Kuvele ukuthi abantu bendawo nabahlala ezindaweni ezisondelene neNquthu abanikezwa umsebenzi kulesibhedlela ngisho nemisebenzi edinga umuntu onesitifiketi sikamatikuletsheni nje kuphela. “Singeke sivume nizenzele umathanda kulesibhedlela ngoba ngesabantu”, kusho uMnuz Vusi Khoza.

Uqhube wathi lokhu kuxoshwa kothisha kuletha inkinga enkulu ngoba abafundi ikakhulukazi bakamatikuletsheni bayalimala njengoba bengatholi ukufundiswa. UMnuz Mthembu uphinde wahlaba inkinga yokuphakelwa kwezingane nathe ibangwa ukungakhokhelwa ngesikhathi kwabaletha ukudla. Banxuse umnyango ukuba ubhekelele zonke izinkinga baphinde bakhalaza nangokunganxeshezelwa kothisha abafundisa ezikoleni zasemakhaya.
