Demand and Supply

I do not know one or two words in isiZulu that refer to Supply and Demand. I have consulted abadala to translate or even interpret the concept because I need to complete the translation of training materials from English to isiZulu to develop capacity of emerging businessmen in rural settings who can only read and write in isiZulu.

Seeing that demand speaks to the magnitude of needs associated with the product or service we are seeking, and the supply would be in response to the perceived need, I therefore think it makes sense to say demand is ISIDINGO ESEVILE and supply would refer to the availability of the product or service being supplied, so, I think I will be understood if I said ISDINGO ESEVILE SEMPAHLA.
