Celebrating Women’s Month:

The Remarkable Journey of Noluthando Ngumbela and Zenazi Ndinani

In the spirit of Women’s Month, we celebrate stories that inspire and remind us of the enduring power of resilience, love, and community. One such story is that of Noluthando Ngumbela. Her journey transformed personal tragedy into a beacon of hope. Noluthando founded Zenazi Ndinani (ZNO) in Langa, turning her loss into a force for good.

The Birth of Zenazi Ndinani (ZNO)

Zenazi Ndinani is named in honor of Noluthando’s late son, Zenazi, who passed away at just 4 years old. This nonprofit organization stands as a testament to a mother’s love and strength. In the face of profound grief, Noluthando chose to create something meaningful. ZNO provides essential clothing and footwear to children, ensuring they have what they need to succeed in school and beyond.

Noluthando’s story is one of profound transformation. She took her personal pain and channeled it into a mission to restore dignity to countless children. Her work reflects the values that have defined women throughout history—courage, compassion, and a commitment to making the world better.

Embodying the Strength of Women

Noluthando’s journey echoes the resilience of the women who marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria in 1956. Like them, she has stood firm against the circumstances that strip children of their dignity and potential.

Her husband, Mzonke Ngumbela, often highlights Noluthando’s vision and strength. The saying “Behind every successful man, there’s a powerful woman” takes on a new meaning here. Thando’s unwavering support underscores their powerful partnership. Together, they are achieving far more than they could alone.

Maya Angelou once said, “I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.” Noluthando embodies this spirit, refusing to let tragedy define her. Instead, she uses it to fuel her mission of empowering the vulnerable.

A Shared Vision for Community Empowerment

Zenazi Ndinani’s mission aligns perfectly with the belief that every child deserves a chance to succeed. This belief is also at the heart of TooMuchWifi’s values. Our partnership thrives on the belief that real change happens when we equip communities with the tools they need to succeed.

Recently, TooMuchWifi was the main sponsor and participated in the charity marathon themed “Restoring Dignity to Children.” The event aimed to raise funds for flood victims in the Western Cape. Led by CEO Tauriq Brown, the team ran with pairs of school shoes to donate. These shoes have now been distributed by ZNO to children in need. This collaboration demonstrated how working together can lead to meaningful change.

Empowering Communities: How Our Partnership with ZNO Drives Meaningful Impact

Mzukisi Mpingose, TooMuchWifi’s Brand Activations Manager, captured the essence of this partnership: “Working with organizations like ZNO is at the core of what TooMuchWifi is about. It’s about supporting communities and giving back in ways that truly matter, which is why we’re committed to reinvesting over 30% of our revenue back into the communities we serve.”

Continuing the Journey

Our commitment goes beyond providing internet access. It’s about creating opportunities, restoring dignity, and fostering hope. It’s about ensuring that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has the chance to reach their full potential.

As Women’s Month unfolds, let Noluthando Ngumbela’s story remind us of the incredible impact one person can have on a community. Her work through Zenazi Ndinani is a powerful testament to love and resilience. Even in the face of adversity, we can create change.

Through partnerships like the one with TooMuchWifi, we continue our journey to empower and uplift communities. Together, we’re closing the digital divide and building a future where every child has the support they need to succeed. As we honor the strength and resilience of women this month, let us celebrate the power of community and collaboration. We all have the capacity to make a difference.
