A business owner and employer named Moniek stated in the JOY! News dated 21 June 2026 the following: ‘All over South Africa, women like her domestic worker (employee) Nonzuzo know things about their employer's family that even best friends don’t, yet they’re not always seen as individuals in their own right.' These two ladies (on the left of the pic) have now become business partners. Moniek has employed Nonzuzo, who has devoted herself to caring for Moniek’s home and children for the past 12 years. She’s raised Moniek’s children with her and become a friend. Moniek states: “We’ve carried one another’s burdens and PRAYED FOR OUR FAMILIES TOGETHER. Her appearance is impeccable, but her work wear didn’t reflect her dignity or her beauty. The uniforms purchased by Moniek, soon faded, and made Nonzuzo felt uncomfortable as it made her feel inferior because it reminded her of what her mother and grandmother wore during the apartheid era when they were called ‘servants’. During discussions about what uniform would be preferable, Moniek thought ‘Someone needs to do something about this” So she went into business with Nonzuzo! Moniek worked with Nonzuzo’s ideas to create more desirable work wear. As such their relationship was strengthened where their newly designed “work wear” have received comments from fellow domestic worker ladies: “ I feel like a million dollars” We’re really inexperienced, so when we don’t know what step to take next WE PRAY ABOUT THINGS. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT GOD GUIDES US. (Praise the Lord) They called the business: Nontle, which means ‘Mother of Beauty’, to honor the amazing women who inspire us, and let them know they’re seen and appreciated. This wonderful testimony shows God’s blessing upon a relationship built in His Name.
Scripture in John 15:11-17 states, “v11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. v12 My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you. v13 The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them. V14 And you are my friends if you do what I command you. v15 I do not call you servants any longer, because servants do not know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I heard from my Father. V16 You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. v17 This, then, is what I command you: love one another. May we all take hands with SATM – Southern Africa Truckers Ministry in support of these ladies, Moniek and Nonzuzo, and build relationships as God commanded and intended. All based on our relationship in submission to Him.
