Khonzani and his brother made a pact: between the two of them, they would change the living standard of their family. That shared goal is central to what keeps him working through the harder parts of training.

He lives with his mother and siblings along Mlevu line, Ward 3, in Tsholotsho, where the family works in building and construction, alongside ongoing financial problems.

Before joining Ngamo he was job searching, trying to raise money for his own education. He came away from O Level with good results, and has found his direction in Farm and Agribusiness Management and Wildlife Management, rating wildlife management and caring for livestock as where he feels strongest.

He wants to become a businessman and farm manager, building a business of his own that creates employment for people locally, and pictures himself, in the future, as exactly that.

“My brother and I told ourselves that we want to change the living standard of our family.”

Previously at Kapane Secondary. Khonzani is now part of the training programme at Ngamo Vocational College and Livestock Farm.
