NKOMAZANA THE HERB WHISPERER

News Image Belinah Nkomazana from Jackalas No. 2 in the North East District defies the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." Despite appearing economically modest, her thriving success lies beneath the surface. Choosing a simple cell phone over a smartphone reflects her focus on substance over style. Belinah emphasizes, "I focus on what matters, which is my business, not fancy things because they will never take me anywhere." Her flourishing herb business has amassed wealth, proving that success takes various forms, transcending outward appearances. Nkomazana, without formal herbal medicine training, has become an expert in the field. Armed with a degree in marketing management from ABM University (2014) and an Information Technology certificate (2013), she transformed her passion for herbs into a thriving business. Her success, she believes, stems from the blend of knowledge, experience, passion, and determination. She challenges the undervaluation of certain occupations, particularly farming. Nkomazana advocates changing the narrative to recognize the dignity and importance of these professions. Despite not having vast land, she emphasizes that good management practices matter more than size for profitability. Belinah's herb business yields a monthly profit of P2,500, providing financial security and a fulfilling life. This success, she asserts, demonstrates the transformative potential of entrepreneurship, emphasizing that socio-economic status isn't the sole measure of success. Her expertise in herbs is evident in her ability to explain their properties. For instance, she detailed the health benefits of fennel, citing its aid in digestion, anti-inflammatory properties, and essential minerals. Beyond direct sales, Nkomazana collaborates with chain stores, ensuring the sustainability and success of her business. She has diversified into beekeeping, identifying market needs and increasing profitability. Belinah questions the importation of honey, urging the government to encourage local beekeeping. Her approach is a testament to the power of the human spirit in reviving traditional medicine and connecting with nature. Her faith plays a significant role in her life and business approach. Expressing gratitude to God, she demonstrates the importance of faith and spirituality in finding fulfillment. Belinah's closing words, "Ask, and you shall be given," encapsulate her philosophy, delivering a beautiful and inspiring message.
