Nkosiphile Ncube from Mawabeni Village in Umzingwane District is training as a mortuary attendant at United Bulawayo Hospitals after becoming a mom twice before turning 22. The 25-year-old is raising two kids alone while her mother helps cover the daily commute costs from their rural home. She picked this career path because most people are scared of working with dead bodies, which means less competition when hunting for jobs.
Her family pushed back hard at first, saying she was way younger than someone who should handle that kind of work. But Ncube kept pushing until they caved, and she started the six-month program in August. She plans to finish up in February and hopes to land employment fast after that.
The Sista2Sista program taught her about protection and family planning methods. She uses Depo-Provera birth control and is making sure she stays on track until finishing school, with zero interest in more pregnancies or getting back with her ex.
