Family is everything to SAIGA financial accountant Qhamani Noko. Q, as Noko is fondly known by his colleagues, is celebrating his birthday this month. His special day came hot on the heels of Father’s Day, on June 20, and Noko celebrated the momentous occasion with family on the Wild Coast.
“Days like Father’s Day and birthdays are all about family for me. Nothing beats quality time with my family,” says Noko, who describes himself as a flexible and easy-going person.
“So, like clockwork on special days, we have a tradition of traveling for leisure and the lucky destination this year was the wild coast for the long weekend. Traveling and adventure are what keep me going in life.”
As he turns 28, Q says he is grateful for the gift of life. “A lot of people have lost loved ones over the past two years as we battled with the Covid-19 pandemic, and by God’s grace, my entire family is graced with the gift of life,” he says.
And how has the past year been on the work front for Q? “Bittersweet. This year has been fruitful and challenging at the same time. There is a long road ahead of us and I’m looking forward to seeing all the hard work sweat and tears come to fruition.” |
