Staff Profile: Mumsy Mathonsi


Mumsy is African Impact’s housekeeper, and started working for us back in 2010. She’s a jack-of-all-trades, as before being employed here she held a great many jobs including breakfast chef, dinner chef, waitress and more. This makes Mumsy great at all aspects of her job – from cleaning and tidying to work in the kitchen and her afternoons out on project. She says here at African Impact she feels at home, and she hopes to make it that way for the volunteers.

“I like my job very much as a cleaner, I really like most for people to stay in a clean place,” says Mumsy, whose passion for her job is easy to see. “This place, I wish it to be like five-star, I can’t help it.”

Mumsy’s also happy to be working with African Impact, as working with the international staff and volunteers is improving her English very much.

Not only is Mumsy busy in the volunteer house most days of the week, she is also out on projects on occasion, particularly at afterschool club in Khula Village.

“It was a great challenge to be in project,” says Mumsy, who just recently started coordinating projects and volunteers. “Playing with the kids it’s more challenging and it’s nice also like to be with volunteers, sharing the languages sharing the opinions.”
