UMakhanya noMzinyane bethule ngokubambisana ucwaningo olusihloko sithi: Mazibuyele Emasisweni: Ukugcina Ukusimama Kokuziphilisa ngoBuntu (Maintaining Sustainable Livelihoods Through Ubuntu Philosophy), ngaphansi kwendikimba yokuQinisela kwamaDolobha kanye neMiphakathi.

Iphepha lokwazisa lezethulo zikaSithole beligxile kwibhizinisi lezenhlalakahle njengohlelo lokubhekana nombono wezixazululo zase-Afrika ezinkingeni zase-Afrika. Lolu cwaningo lwethulwe ngaphansi kwendikimba ethi: Amabhizinisi Azijwayeza Ushintsho Lomhlaba - Bisu Adaptation to Global Change, lapho kudingidwe ngohlelo lwezomnotho olumbaxambili.

‘Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kunamabhizinisi, amabhizinisi enza inzuzo, achazwa njengaqhutshwa inzuzo kanti kolunye uhlangothi, kunamabhizinisi angenzi nzuzo agqamisa ukubhekelela abaswele,’ kusho uSithole. 

‘Ngokwehluka kwibhizinisi elijwayelekile, ibhizinisi lezenhlalakahle libukeka lisimama, liqhutshwa amagugu, uhlelo lwezomnotho olushoshela phakathi nendawo oluxuba futhi olungena emandleni alezi zindlela zombili.’

Ucwaningo lwakhe luyaqhubeka ngokucubungula amathuba kwezamabhizinisi ezenhlalakahle abheka ukulinganisa izimiso zebhizinisi kanye nokusimamisa inhlalakahle yomphakathi.
