Rhodes University student Nompilo Mncube, 20
believes family support is the reason she is doing so well today, academically
and socially. Mncube is a 2nd
Year Journalism & Media Studies student in Grahamstown. She is good with people, sociable, crazy and a
neat freak. She does maintain that there are times she just wants to be alone
and have some “me time,” however.
Mncube was born in Pietermaritzburg, Kwa-Zulu Natal,
the only girl in a family of three. Her
father died in 2001 after a long illness, and her mother Maureen Mncube the children
(Nompilo, Sibusiso, 25 and Siyabonga, 14) into responsible young adults.
Maureen, who is a nurse, took over her late
husband’s taxi business, and today, Sibusiso assists with its day-to-day
running. Young Siyabonga in Grade 8 is
an extrovert who does his bit in the running of the Mncube household.
“Despite any fights which may occur between my
brothers and I, we are very protective, supportive, and my family is more
important to me than anything else in the world.”
The Mncubes hope to expand the business to trucks
and go national. Nompilo is an aspiring
businesswoman who wants to start her own events coordinating company. She also
hopes to branch out into retail selling equipment for events.
With the family support the Mncubes give one
another, Nompilo can surely never fail in her future endeavours, as a strong
family orientated and businesswoman.
The sky is surely not the limit for this young
woman.
