Izindaba zokuhlukana kosaziwayo zimangaze abaningi. Kwakukholelwa ukuthi amaGates - isibonelo esiyinhloko sokuthi umshado omude futhi ojabulisayo ungenzeka, ngisho noma ngaphezu kwezingane, uhileleke ebhizinisini lezigidigidi zamadola kanye nesisa. Pho kungani umshado waphela futhi kuzokwenzekani ngesizathu esivamile sikaBill noMelinda manje?
UBill Gates noMelinda French bahlangana ngo-1987 esidlweni sakusihlwa sebhizinisi eMicrosoft. Khona-ke intombazane eneminyaka engu-23 ubudala, eyayisanda kuthola umsebenzi wayo wokuqala, yakhanga umyeni wayo wesikhathi esizayo ngothando lwayo lwama-puzzle kanye neqiniso lokuthi yakwazi ukumshaya emdlalweni wezibalo. Ngo-1994, lo mbhangqwana washada, futhi ngemva kweminyaka engu-27 beshadile, ngo-May 3, 2021, bamemezela isehlukaniso sabo esasisondela.
“Ngemva kokucabangisisa kahle nangomsebenzi omningi ngobudlelwano bethu, senze isinqumo sokuwuqeda umshado wethu. Eminyakeni engu-27, sesikhulise izingane ezintathu ezimangalisayo futhi sakha isisekelo esiza abantu emhlabeni wonke ukuba baphile impilo enempilo futhi ephumelelayo,” kusho lo mbhangqwana.
Mhlawumbe, ukuze kuvinjelwe inhlebo kanye nezinganekwane mayelana nesizathu sesehlukaniso (isibonelo, mayelana nokuvela komuntu wesithathu ebuhlotsheni), bagcizelela kusengaphambili ukuthi babehlukana ngenxa yokuthi ubuhlobo babo buphelile isikhathi eside. usizo: "Asisakholwa ukuthi singakhula ndawonye njengombhangqwana esigabeni esilandelayo sempilo yethu."
Abaningi bacasulwa yizindaba zokuwa komndeni oyisibonelo, owakwazi ukuthola ibhalansi phakathi kokuphila komuntu siqu, ibhizinisi lezigidigidi zamadola kanye nomsebenzi wezenhlalakahle. Kodwa umbuzo omkhulu manje olenga emoyeni ngothi kuzokwenzekani “kwingane” yesine yakwaGates, iBill and Melinda Gates Foundation, ebhekelele ezempilo, ukuncishiswa kobubha nezinye izindaba zomphakathi?
Melinda Gates kanye nokulwela amalungelo abesifazane
Yize laba bashadikazi beshilo ukuthi bazoqhubeka nokusebenzisana, abaningi baphakamisa ukuthi uMelinda Gates uzozihlelela esakhe isisekelo. Usevele unesipiliyoni: ngo-2015, wasungula i-Pivotal Ventures, isikhwama sokutshala izimali esigxile ekusizeni abesifazane.
U-Melinda Gates wake waba ukuphela kowesifazane ohlelweni lokuqala lwe-MBA e-Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. Kamuva, waqala ukusebenza ensimini okwase kunesikhathi eside kungatholakali amantombazane. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-9, waba umphathi jikelele wemikhiqizo yolwazi futhi washiya umsebenzi wakhe ukuze agxile emndenini wakhe.
U-Melinda Gates ubelokhu elwela amalungelo abesifazane iminyaka eminingi. Namuhla sishicilela izitatimende zakhe ezigqama kakhulu ngalesi sihloko.
“Ukuba ngowesifazane kusho ukukholelwa ukuthi wonke umuntu wesifazane kufanele akwazi ukusebenzisa izwi lakhe nokufeza ikhono lakhe. Ukukholelwa ukuthi abesifazane nabesilisa kufanele babambisane ukudiliza imigoqo futhi kuqedwe ubandlululo olusabambe abesifazane emuva.”

“Njengoba abesifazane bezuza amalungelo abo, imindeni nemiphakathi iqala ukudlondlobala. Lokhu kuxhumana kusekelwe eqinisweni elilula: noma nini lapho ufaka iqembu elalikhishwe ngaphambilini emphakathini, uzuzisa wonke umuntu. Amalungelo abantu besifazane, impilo kanye nokuphila kahle komphakathi kuyathuthuka kanyekanye.»

"Kimi, umgomo awukona "ukukhuphuka" kwabesifazane futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo ukuchithwa kwamadoda. Uhambo olwabiwe ukusuka ekulweleni ukubusa kuya ekubambisaneni."

“Yingakho thina besifazane kumele sesekane. Hhayi ukuvala isikhundla samadoda phezulu esigungwini, kodwa sibe abalingani namadoda ekubhidlizeni leso sikhundla.”
