A story about my life...

I was born, grew up and educated in Zimbabwe where I completed my O levels in 1991. I immigrated to South Africa as there was a lack of job opportunities in Zimbabwe. My first job here was as a painter for a period of 4 years. Then I also worked as a receptionist at the Hertford Inn in Lanseria, Johannesburg. Hertford Inn fell on bad times so after being retrenched I managed to find a position
 
at Astoria Bakery as a confectioner in 1996. This too was short lived as they decided shortly after employing me to cut back on staff and it was last in, first out. It was then on the 7th of January, I landed in Mr Lategan’s employ and started working as a gardener.

As I was working for Mr Lategan I began to realize that without having either a course or some kind of qualification you are nothing. I then enrolled with Damelin Management

School in 1998 for an office administration course. I followed this up with a course in pay roll administration and finally a driver’s licence. Through my input and sacrifice I managed to pass all these courses. Finally I have learnt that in life nothing comes easy unless you work hard and make some sacrifices. I now fulfil an administration roll at Journey Beyond and I look forward to forwarding your calls when you contact us.
