Our country has been facing massive job losses in the previous years with no beacon of hope none-so ever. The disabled people have also been affected by the spade of job losses either as a result of retrenchment, companies closing down or medical reasons. In aim of counter-attacking massive job losses the country has been facing, the government has been trying to create a friendly environment for self-employment and has been encouraging citizens to start their own small businesses.
In aim of counter-attacking challenges and social-ills brought by unemployment, one blind man has self-entrepreneurship through the agricultural sector. 45 years old blind husband and father Mr Bannie Mbola from Lepheng-ville in Hammanskraal has embarked on an agricultural project with three other blind people in aim of fighting unemployment.
Mr Mbola who is an electrician by profession lost his sight whilst on duty doing work in neighbouring Mozambique through his electrical company, and was declared totally blind a little less than four years ago. He has since been trying his luck with self-employment through various sectors.
