) Domestic worker never gives up
She graduates at last JANA BEKKER
Sheer determination paid off for Nosipho Sheila Mdini, a 42-yearold domestic worker from Boston, when she received her National Diploma in Human Resource Management last week. “Since I was little, I told myself I wanted to be a graduate,” says Sheila. This dream had to be put on hold when she fell pregnant in 1987, at the age of 17. As she had a child to bring up, Sheila could not complete matric, but the dream persisted. In 2004 Sheila completed a computer course and in the following year,
she registered as a part-time student at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. This go-getter paid for her studies with her salary and when she received her diploma last week, her studies were paid in full. “It wasn’t easy,” Sheila says. “After I completed the second year, I wanted to quit, because it was too much for me.” Sheila had five subjects in her first year and four in the second year and with a full-time job, she merely didn’t have enough time to juggle everything. Sheila persisted, however. Mondays to Thursdays she went to class between 17:20 and 19:20 and still had
to find the time to study for tests and exams, but she managed it. Despite being busy between work and studies, Sheila made time for love too and in 2007 she married Mxolisi Dala. During exams though, she took time off to study. Her employer of the past 12 years, Carin Human, is very proud of Sheila. “She is a real inspiration,” she says. About her choice of career Sheila says: “I want to work in human resources. It is such a broad field and I like to talk. I am a people’s person,” she says. Sheila’s only daughter, Philiswa
(21) is repeating Grade 12 this year, to obtain a better result for university exemption. “My daughter says I am an encouragement,” says Sheila. While Sheila was studying towards her degree, Communication 1 was added as an additional subject to the diploma, which meant Sheila had to study an additional year, in which she completed that one last subject. Although she cannot wait to work in her field, Sheila’s set on doing it right. “I do want to work in human resources, but I will only leave my current job once I have found another position,” she says.
