2010 HALL OF GROWTH…INIKEZA ISITHOMBE NGOMKHAKHA WEZEMISEBENZI YEZANDLA EKWAZULU-NATALI

U

mbukiso wosomabhizinisi nabahwebi abasakhula obizwa ngeHholo Lentuthuko owenziwe uMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Komnotho Nezekuvakasha eRoyal Agricultural Show, awulona nje ibhuloho elixhumanisa umkhakha wosomabhizinisi abasafufusa nalabo asebezimele kwezomnotho ezweni lethu. Lo mbukiso usikhombisa ukuthi kanti ungakanani umsebenzi owenziwa osomabhizinisi abancane kulesi sifundazwe kanye nokuthi iziphi izinyathelo esezithathiwe ukusiza labosomabhizinisi ukuthi basebenze ngempumelelo.

Uma ungena nje kuleli hholo uhlangabezwa ubuhle bomsebenzi obabazekayo. Uma uxoxa nabahwebi abakhangisa ngezimpahla zabo uzwa izindaba ezikushiya ubambe ongezansi. Uphuma

uzishaya isifuba emva kokuvuleka amehlo ngamakhono okukhiqiza umsebenzi wezandla akulesi sifundazwe.

Ngesikhathi evula lelihholo, uNgqongqoshe Wezezimali uNkskz Ina Cronje wathi kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi labahwebi abasafufusa bafune, bathole amathuba okuzithuthukisa ukuze bagcine sebebamba iqhaza emnothweni wezwe. Wathi ukuphumelela kwalaba osomabhizinisi kuncike ekubambisaneni kwahulumeni kanye nabezamabhizinisi amakhulu.

“Ukuvulwa kwe KZN Hall of Growth Exhibition kukhombisa ukuthi zibe yimpumelelo izinhlelo zokubambisana nokulekelelana esizisungulile ngenhloso yokuthuthukisa abahwebi abasakhula kwisifundazwe saKwaZuluNatali.

“Imifelandawonye eyishumi kanye nosomabhizinisi abasafufusa abayishumi nantathu bazokhangisa ngemisebenzi yabo kulelihholo. Asingabazi nakancane ukuthi lokhu kuzobavulela amathuba ukuze bakwazi ukukhulisa amabhizinisi abo bavule namathuba omsebenzi adingeka kakhulu”, kusho uCronje.

Lelihholo lentuthuko liwumphumela wokusebenza ngokubambisana phakathi kweNhlangano Yosomabhizinisi BaseMgungundlovu (PCB) kanye noMnyango Wezokuthuthukiswa Komnotho Nezokuvakasha.

UNkskz Cronje uthe lombukiso walonyaka ungomunye wevelele kakhulu nakhu phela nomqhudelwano wendebe yebhola lomhlaba ka2010 ususemnyango.

“Mphathi wohlelo, njengoba sazi sonke ukuthi lombukiso uvelele

kakhulu ngoba wenzeka ngesikhathi izwe lethu lithakasele futhi libambe umoya lilindele esingakubiza ngeminye yemizuzu esingayobuye siyikhohlwe ezimpilweni zethu, umqhudelwano wonyaka ka 2010 wendebe yomhlaba. Asinanazi ukuthi kothi uma sekufike isikhathi, siyokwenza njengezikhathi ezedlule , sikhombise umhlaba wonke ukuthi siyakwazi ukuhlela umqhudelwano oyohlala ungundabuzekwayo” kusho uNkskz Cronje enezezela ngokuthi ukugqugquzelwa kosomabhizinisi abasafufusa elinye lamagalelo okulwa nokuntuleka kwemisebenzi.

Uthe laba osomabhizinisi abakhangise kulelihholo bazovulekelwa amathuba azoholela ekutheni amabhzinisi abo athuthuke ukuze nabo bavulele abanye abantu amathuba emise-

benzi.

Imisebenzi eminingi etholakala kulelihholo lentuthuko imisebenzi yezandla engeke uyithole ezitolo ezinkulu nakothelawayeka bezindawo zokuthenga.

Ithuba lokukhangisa nokudayisa lemisebenzi kwizindimbane zabantu abavakashela lombukiso kuveza ithuba lokwenza inzuzo yezezimali kanye nethuba lokuthi labahwebi abasafufusa bafunde izifundo ngokuba khona kwabo kulombukiso.

Ngakho-ke uma uzifunela izipho ezingajwayelekile, noma isipho ozosinika isihambeli saphesheya, into yokuhlobisa endlini yakho evela ezweni lethu, vakashela ihholo lentuthuko e Royal Agricultural Show. Siyaziqhenya ngokuba ngabaseNingizimu Afrika!

Awukho umbukiso odlula lo esifundazweni saKwaZulu-Natali.

Njengoba sazi sonke ukuthi lombukiso walonyaka uvelele kakhulu ngoba wenzeka ngesikhathi izwe lethu lithakasele futhi libambe umoya lilindele esingakubiza ngeminye yemizuzu esingayobuye siyikhohlwe ezimpilweni zethu, umqhudelwano wonyaka ka 2010 wendebe yomhlaba.

IRoyal Show isendaweni yesibili

ngobukhulu emibukisweni yaloluhlobo ezweni lonke kanti manje isiheha ngisho izinkampani zasemazweni angaphandle.

Sidlulisa ukubonga kwiNhlangano Yosomabhizinisi baseMgungundlovu ngokusebenza ngokubambisana noMnyango. iHholo Lentuthuko liwumphumela walolubambiswano, futhi yingakho nje kuleminyaka emithathu edlule linyuke laba sezingeni lezinto abantu abangafisi ukuthi zibaphuthele.

Kuyintokozo futhi nokubona ukuthi uhulumeni, ngokubambisana nabezamabhizinisi kanye nomphakathi, usebenzela ukuhlangabeza izidingo zentuthuko ezweni.

Iqiniso sonke esilaziyo ukuthi uhulumeni, kanye nesifundazwe sethu, akasoze ahlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo zezwe lethu eyedwa. Izinselela ezibhekene nesifundazwe sethu siyohlangabezana nazo kuphela uma sisebenza ngokubambisana.

Njengomnyango obamba iqhaza elikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwesifundazwe, sikholelwa ekutheni umkhakha wosomabhizinisi abasakhula unendima ebalulekile okumele uyidlale ukuze kuthuthukiswe umnotho wesifundazwe.

Esifundazweni saKwaZulu-Natali sisebenzela ukwakha umkhakha

wosomabhizinisi abancane okwaziyo ukuqhudelana namanye amabhizinisi. Ukuze sikwazi ukuthuthukisa amabhizinisi amancane, imifelandawonye kanye nokusungulwa kwemisebenzi, sesibeke ingxenye yemali ekhishwe kwisabelo-mali sesifundazwe sonyaka ka2010/11.

KwaZulu-Natali, enye yezindlela umnyango wethu oziqokile ukulekelela osomabhizinisi abancane nemifelandawonye. Lokhu kuzofeza inhloso yethu yokusiza abantu bakithi ngokubanikeza wonke amathuba okudlondlobala kwezomnotho.

Ukufeza lezi zinjongo uMnyango usuwenze lokhu okulandelayo: • ususungule iKZN Integrated Business Programme okuwuhlelo lwezamabhizinisi oludidiyelwe okuyilo olulandelwayo uma kuthuthukiswa osomabhizinisi abancane kulesi sifundazwe.

• ususungule kuzo zonke izifunda ama SMME/Co-operative One Stop Shop Business Support Centres , okuyizikhungo lapho bonke osomabhizinisi abasakhula nemifelandawonye bethola khona usizo nolwazi.

• uyaqhubeka nokwenza ngcono indlela yokulekelela amabhizinisi amancane akhona

nalawo amasha kanye nemifelandawonye: • Ngonyaka wezimali ka 2009/10 amabhizinisi angama 981 athola uqeqesho ngokuphathwa kwamabhizinisi kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamakhomputha.

Lokhu kwenziwa ngokubambisana namakolishi iFurther Education Colleges (FETs) aKwaZulu-Natali.

• Ngokubambisana noMnyango Wezemfundo sesisungule saqeqesha imifelandawonye engama 73 esebenza emkhakheni wokuphekela izikole zamabanga aphansi. Lemifelandawonye yanikezwa isamba sika R8 wezigidi kwisikhwama esiphethwe Ithala esibizwa nge Co-operative Development Fund. Lemifelandawonye isisayinde inkontileka ya R52 wezigidi noMnyango Wezemfundo yokuphakela izikole zamazinga aphansi ezingama 369. Lokhu kubambisana koMnyango wethu kanye noWezemfundo sekuvule amathuba omsebenzi angama 438.

• Umnyango wethu usebenza kanzima ulungiselela ukusungulwa kwesikhungo sokuqeqesha imifelandawonye, ukuze ibe nalo lonke ulwazi oludingekayo ukuze nayo ibe negalelo elibonakalayo kum-

notho wesifundazwe. Indawo esizokwakhiwa kuyona lesisikhungo isitholakele, osekusele nje ukuqedelwa kwezingxoxo ukuze kusayindwe isivumelwano sokusebenzisa lendawo.

• Njengoba sizimisele ukusiza amabhizinisi amancane athuthuke, sisabheka ezinye izindlela zokwenza ngcono indlela uhulumeni anikeza ngayo labosomabhizinisi amathuba okwenza ibhizinisi nohulumeni.

Asingabazi nakancane ukuthi usizo oluvela kuhulumeni luzolekelela osomabhizinisi abancane bathuthuke bafike emazingeni afanele. Inselela enkulu ukuthi labosomabhizinisi kumele bathuthuke bafike ezingeni lapho bezokwazu ukuzimela ngaphandle kokuthembela kuhulumeni.

Ilokhu-ke okuyoba nomthelela omuhle ekwandisweni kwamathuba omsebenzi ukuze sikhiphe abantu bethu osizini lobubha nokulahlekelwa ithemba.

Engathi ukuvulwa kwaleliHholo Lentuthuko kungagqugquzela abaningi bethu, ikakhulukazi osomabhizinisi abasakhula nemifelandawonye, ukuthi baqale amabhizinisi anempumelelo.

UKUTHOLA IZIMAKETHE: INSELELA EBHEKENE NOSOMABHIZINISI ABASAKHULA

Andrew Layman CEO: Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Commerce

Z

iningi izinselela ezibheke abahwebi abazama ukusungula amabhizinisi amancane. Enye yezinto okubonakale sengathi ijwayele ukunganakwa uma abahwebi besahlela ukusungula ibhizinisi ile yokuthi bazofinyelela kanjani kwimakethe yabo. Ubani othenga umkhiqizo noma umsebenzi wabo na?

Izindlela ezijwayelekile zokumaketha umsebenzi noma umkhiqizo

ziyabiza futhi akujwayelekile ukuthi zibe nemiphumela egculisayo.

Ngaphandle kwamasuphamakethe amakhulu, bambalwa abanye abahwebi abathola amakhasimende ngendlela egculisayo uma befake izikhangiso ezibiza amanani aphezulu emaphephandabeni.

Amaphepha aphanyekwa ezigxobeni nasezindongeni kanye nemibhalo echaza ngebhizinisi kujwayeleke ukuthi abize amanani aphezulu kakhulu kunalawo abahwebi abasafufusa abangakwazi ukuwakhokhela.

Esikhathini samanje sekujwayelekile ukuthi abantu basebenzise ukuxhumana ngamakhomputha ukuzimaketha okuba nemiphumela emihle, kodwa lokhu akuyona into abahwebi abasakhula abangakwazi ukuyenza kalula ngoba abakwazi ukusebenzisa amakhomputha futhi abafundile ngokwanele ukwazi ukuthi amakhomputha asetshenziswa kanjani.

Ukukhangisa embukisweni onjegalo woMnyango Wezo-

kuthuthukiswa Komnotho Nezokuvakasha kuba nemiphumela emihle kulabahwebi inqobo nje uma kuzotholakala indlela yokwehlisa izindleko zokukhangisa. Yingakho nje uMnyango ngokubambisana ne nhlangano yabahwebi baseMgungundlovu uhlangabezane nazo zonke izindleko zokwenza kubelula kubahwebi abasafufusa ukuthi bakhangise ngemikhiqizo yabo kwi Royal Agricultural Show yalonyaka.

Lokhu futhi kuyinkomba yokuthi uMnyango uzibophezele ekulekeleleni osomabhizinisi kanye nemifelandawonye esafufusa ukuthi badlale indima kumnotho wesifundazwe.

Inhlanganisela yosomabhizinisi baseMgungundlovu okuyiyo engamela lelihholo labahwebi abasafufusa ikuthakasela kakhulu ukubambisana nomnyango ekwenzeni lo msebenzi osekuneminyaka wenzeka. Njengenhlanganisela yosomabhizinisi ziyaziqhenya ngokufaka isandla

ekuthuthukisweni kwabahwebi abasafufusa ngoba nabo bayakwazi ukuthi badayise ngesikhathi salombukiso. UMnyango nawo othatha indawo egqamile kulelihholo wenza kube lula ukuthi amalunga omphakathi awuthole uma efisa ukubuza noma afunde izinto ezithize ngezinhlelo zawo.

Njengazo zonke izindlela zokwenza ibhizinisi, kudingeka ukuqonda amakhasimende kanye nobuchule bokwenza ngcono ngaso sonke isikhathi indlela okukhangiswa ngayo kulembukiso. Baningi abakhangisa kulombukiso, ngisho osomabhizinisi abakhulu imbala abangenako ukuqonda okuphelele ukuthi iziphi izinto ezidingekayo uma kuzokwenziwa umbukiso ngempumelelo.

Umbukiso wenza ithuba lokuthi amakhasimende aheheke ukuthi athenge ngaleso sikhathi noma azibophezele ekutheni abuye esezothenga esikhathini esilandelayo. Ukuze labahwebi abasakhula bakwazi ukukwenza lokhu, inhlangano yosomabhizini-

si baseMgungundlovu yabamba imihlangano eminingi nabo ibachazela kabanzi ukuthi lokhu bangakwenza kanjani.

Kungephikwe ukuthi akubona bonke labahwebi abasafufusa abangakwazi ukukhokhela izindleko zokuthi imibukiso yabo ihambe phambili, kodwa okubalulekile ukubafundisa ukuthi uma umuntu esefikile la bekhangisa khona, bangenza kanjani ukuthi azithole esethenga.

UMnyango unezinhlelo eziningi zokusimamisa nokulekelela osomabhizinisi abancane, lo mbukiso enye yazo. Ukubona ukuthi iyiphi imakethe oyifunayo, umsebenzi webhizinisi ngalinye kodwa siyazi ukuthi wonke umhwebi uvumela phezulu uma kuthi lokho enye yezinto ezilukhuni kakhulu.

Uhulumeni wesifunda, esebenza ngoMnyango usuveze amathuba amaningi okulekelela abahwebi abasakhula ukuthi baphumelele.

Lokhu kuzokwenzeka ngoba umsebenzi wethu uhlukile.

Izicathulo

esizakhayo azijwayelekile futhi zithungwe ngobunono. Imshini esiyisebenzisayo nayo ikhipha izicathulo ezingajwayelekile”, kusho uMadlala. Ngaphandle kwezicathulo, amakhushini nawo bawakha gesikhumba.

Okubalulekile kulomfelandawonye ukuthi yize kusenezinkinga zokuthuthukisa ibhizinisi, bayakwazi ukuziphilisa kanye nemindeni yabo.

“Kona ngiyazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wangibusisa ngekhono lokudweba, kodwa ziningi izingqinamba ohlangabezana nazo ngesikhathi usazama ukwenza

ithalente lakho ibhizinisi”.

Uthe enye yezinkinga ahlangabezana nazo ukusweleka kwezinto kanye nendawo yokusebenza.

“Kunzima kabi ukusebenzela ekhaya ngoba uthola ukuthi zonke izinto zakho zisabalele indlu yonke futhi zilahleka kalula”, kusho uDanca.

Uthe ukubona abantu bejabulela umsebenzi wakhe kumgqugquzelile ukuthi afeze iphupho lakhe lokuba ne art gallery yakhe.

“Eminyakeni emibalwa ezayo ngifisa ukuzibona ngine art gallery yami lapho ngingeke nje ngikhangise ngemisebenzi yami kodwa naleyo yabadwebi abamnyama abasafufusa.”

ZIANA-B CREATIONS

Zanele Bhengu onebhizinisi lokuthunga izingubo zemishado elizinze eMgungundlovu, iZiana-B Creations uthi ulijabulele kakhulu ithuba lokuzokhangisa eRoyal Agricultural Show okwesibili.
