Phuze’mthonjeni is a Zulu word meaning Drinking from the well. Phuze’mthonjeni was established with the idea of sharing. Sharing is not only a one way process but a participating process. I found two interesting meanings of sharing from Wikipedia. The first one says "In a broader sense, it can also include the free granting of use rights to a good that is capable of being treated as a nonrival good, such as information" and a second one "Still more loosely, ‘sharing’ can actually mean giving something as an outright gift: for example, to ‘share’ one's food really means to give some of it as a gift". It goes without saying; unfortunately we don’t share food on Phuze’mthonjeni but food for thought.

Phuze’mthonjeni’s core vision is to create employment with the view that this will address unemployment in our country. Employee turn over is not a desirable phenomenon in the workplace for various reasons. Some say it is affected by Money Ethic endorsement, whether you like money or not. Is it chasing for money or chasing your worth? For me there is nothing wrong with loving money; as long as it does not define who you are or compromise your values. If we create an opportunity / platform for one or more individuals to prosper further in their career paths, this will give an opportunity to unemployed person to enter the corporate world.
