​MY RETIREMENT
Its an honor and grace to have had a 14-year opportunity to work for this lovely and
amazing organisation called Sikhula Sonke. This organization has been like a home
filled with a loving and caring family. We had our joyous and challenging moments
but there is no place like home. Today time has come for me to part ways with
people that I have spent quite a long tin time and a strong bond. Yes, it is true I am
retiring, I have contributed my years of life in the public sector. I started working 40
years ago. I have mentored many people along the journey. I would like to give Glory
to the almighty God for the health, the grace and the privilege to serve the
underprivileged children in Khayelitsha. I thank the Sikhula Sonke board especially
my Executive Director Mdebuka Mthwazi (Enkosi Mjoli), who has played a huge and
excellent role in leading and mentoring me at the place of work and life in general.
Thank you the SISO line management for allowing me to mentor them, showing me
great respect and humility, you always in my mind. I cannot forget to thank The SISO
employees who have worked with me as a team to make this organization an
excellent one. The ECD forums, principals and practioners contributed to the great
experience that I will keep on sharing to those who need it. May the good Lord bless
Sikhula Sonke and the ECD Sector at large. Aluta Continua, see you around!!
