Sibongile Mongadi's company, Uku'Hamba Prosthetics, sells prosthetics that are nearly 80% cheaper than their closest competitor because they want to be more accessible to customers and patients. | DrumMagazine

She walked into the hospital with a gum infection and walked out with a goal.Sibongile Mongadi had a gum infection and when she was referred to her local hospital from the clinic, she ended up going home without getting it attended to as she was too focused on helping a disabled man who had been on a waiting list for a prosthetic leg for five years.

“I remember thinking he was exaggerating when he said he had been going back and forth and had been trying to get the prosthetic leg for five years. I mean, five years is a long time, so I thought but when I enquired further, I found out from the head of department that he had indeed been on the waiting list for five years. I forgot about my gum infection, and I left without even getting my x-ray because I was so invested in this.

“I did not have a plan at the time, I just wanted to help but I did not know how. I was working as a consultant for a financial institution. I then visited a lot of public hospitals to find out what their position was, some were the same and some were worse because they do not manufacture their own prosthetics.”

“We now have an entire operation running in Dobsonville and we manufacture from there. We have a mechanical engineer, a biomedical engineer and myself as the manufacturing engineer. Between the three of us, we tailor make the prosthetics to the customer’s needs.
