I went to Eduduzi Primary School. I stopped going to school in grade 7 because there was no money for School fees. I couldn’t go to school anymore so I looked for a job. I started working at Ngonini (A village in the Hhohho region) in 1994. I worked there for 4 years before coming back home to Bulembu. When I came back home, I started working at the Havelock asbestos mine until it closed in 1999. Life after the mine closed was very difficult for our community. Thats why there are a lot of stick and mud houses. No one would enjoy sleeping in a stick and mud house if they had money.
I sat at home without work for a long time. I then decided to start keeping bees and farming vegetables (spinach and lettuce).
To make the bee hives, I went to ask for some wood planks from a local Sawmill company that was close by. I made 10 bee hive boxes. I was able to find a market to sell the honey in Manzini. Bee keeping and farming have helped me to be able to support my family. Although sometimes there are some challenges with my old car because of the bad road.
