Zulu for 'hustling' or 'foraging for opportunities'. Phanda is often used to mean making ends meet through any hustle. E.g. 'uPhanda uPhusha uPhepha' (hustle, push, survive) was a motto in Kwaito music.

"Life ayikho easy eKasi – kumele uphande uskabele ngemali yes'kholo sabantwana. (Meaning in English: Life isn't easy in the township – you have to hustle to scrape together school fees for the kids.)"
