Le nkampani uthi uyisungule ngemuva kokuthi ebone ukuthi kanti udoti uyimali. Lokhu uthi wakubona ngesikhathi ethunywe enkampanini abeyisebenzela ukuthi ayodayisa amaplastiki asesebenzile asetshenziswa yile nkampani ukuhlola ukuthi izingodo ezidayisayo ziswakeme kangakanani, ngo-2014
“Bekungakhethwa ukuthi ngubani othunywa ukuthi ayodayisa oplastiki, ngo-2014 kwathunywa mina, ngathatheka uma ngibona ukuthi kanti udoti unemali ngabuye ngabuza nokuthi kungani bewuthenga bangitshela ukuthi bakwenzela ukuthi kongiwe imvelo.
“Uthando lwami lokonga imvelo lwaqala lapho, angibange ngisachitha sikhathi ngaqala ngaqoqa udoti ngawubeka egcekeni lami ngaphambi kokuthi ngiye emsebenzini. Kwabaningi ukuqoqa izigubhu, amabhodlela, amathini namaphepha kwakubukeka njengokuhlanya,” kusho yena.
