He has a scientific background and has won accolades from reputable science fairs — locally and internationally.
“As a science student in high school, I was celebrated by the Zimbabwe Science Fair for my contributions to the power industry when I invented a scientific innovation called the thermoelectric power plant.
“So, the thermoelectric power plan was a direct response to blackouts that we were experiencing as a nation at that time. As a scientist and competent student, I knew it was upon myself to contribute something and perhaps try and show my willingness and desire to contribute.
“This is when I assembled what later made noise —the thermoelectric power plant. At the Zimbabwe Science Fair 2020 competitions, I was celebrated. I received, a gold award and was also selected to represent Zimbabwe at the Eskom Expo which was held in South Africa. We were only two selected among the 500 participants.
He was also selected to among those to participate at the North Gauteng International Science competition.
“It remains a platitude, it remains an element of confidence that we can leverage on our classroom knowledge and contribute to some meaningful initiatives that can speak directly and positively to our economy as a nation.”
He spoke about his company Netcom Consultants.
“As an educated person, I am always ahead living ahead, seeing the future as if it’s now and living the future as if it’s the present.
“After realising that there were some discrepancies in terms of the academic and the available job opportunities, and I realised that it was upon myself to protect my future and to create a future I desired.
“I knew that I was also next in line, I was going to inherit that trend of joblessness which is believed to be rocking globally.
“The level of joblessness is high and to protect and to future proof, my future I then ventured into this wonderful thing that I called Netcom. Our duty is to produce successful entrepreneurs by training the academically invested to leverage their classroom knowledge for employment creation reasons.
“Netcom Consultancy is an extension of the educational syllabus and background.
Our target is to create employment through empowering the academia. We have also been hosting career guidance workshops within schools as part of our journey to help and train learners so that they can harvest more from their classroom knowledge,” he said.
His advice to entrepreneurs; “Dismiss the misconception that entrepreneurship is a monopoly from those from the business sect.
“We come across this when we hold our entrepreneurship symposiums. Many people seem to disinherit themselves from entrepreneurship.”
