Ngo-1986, uMa Mbusi wabambisana noMa Ethel Mthiyane, umsunguli we-Ikwezi Welfare Organisation. Bendawonye, baqala ukufundisa abantu bomphakathi ubuhlalu ngephupho elifanayo: ukunika amandla labo abaphila nokukhubazeka ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo ngokubanikeza amakhono angokoqobo ukuze baziphilise futhi bondle imindeni yabo.
