MY SON HAS THREE DEGREES. THE PLUMBER WHO FIXED MY TOILET EMPLOYS SIX PEOPLE.

My son is 32.

He has a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree and a postgraduate diploma.

His bedroom has a shelf full of certificates.

He is intelligent. Articulate. Reads widely.

But he has been unemployed for almost two years.

Last month, a pipe burst in our bathroom.

I called a plumber called Musa.

He arrived in an old Toyota Probox with two young men.

Within an hour, they had found the problem.

As they worked, I asked Musa where he had trained.

“Technical school,” he said.

He told me he now had six people working for him.

Three plumbers. Two apprentices. One young woman who handles his calls, quotations and payments.

Then his phone rang.

A school needed its water system repaired.

Another customer was waiting for him in Ntinda.

Before leaving my house, he gave one apprentice instructions and drove off.

My son was sitting in the living room with his laptop.

For a moment, I looked at Musa.

Then I looked at my son.

And a terrible question entered my head:

How did the man with fewer certificates become the man creating jobs for the man with more certificates?

That evening I told Uncle Rwamiti what had happened.

He laughed.

“Why are you comparing them?”

“But Musa has less education!”

Uncle Rwamiti shook his head.

“No. Musa may have less schooling. That is not the same thing.”

Then he said something I have not forgotten:

“Education fills the toolbox. Life asks whether you can open it.”

Musa knew something.

But more importantly, he had learnt how to turn what he knew into something another human being would pay for.

He found problems.

Solved them.

Charged for the solution.

Built trust.

Got referrals.

Trained others.

And eventually created jobs.

My son had accumulated knowledge.

Musa had activated his.

Perhaps we have been asking young graduates the wrong question.

Not:

“What did you study?”

But:

“What can you now do, solve, create or improve because of what you studied?”

A degree is an achievement.

But it is not yet traction.

The world does not pay us merely for what we know.

Very often, it pays us for what we can make that knowledge DO.

@_AfricanSoil All Black South Africans must be part of this organisation. It must be a vehicle to total emancipation of a black man, build institutions that teaches the importance of land & mines and the management thereof countrywide for when its time to take over the country.

[Princy Mthombeni @Princymthombeni]

President @CyrilRamaphosa Why is one of the biggest financial decisions in South Africa’s democratic history being done so quietly and in secret?

We’re talking about R84 billion in public assets, R140 billion in new borrowing and billions more in potential taxpayer funds)

No proper national debate. No real public consultation.

South Africans deserve transparency. What are you hiding with this @Eskom_SA Transmission restructuring?
