“I never wanted to attend the club but my friend forced me and I’m forever grateful to him. A presenter who gave us the talk that day changed my life and groomed us on how best to do business and do public speaking. It led to me ignoring my school work and focusing on business news of the day,” Tafadzwa recalled.

His stint with Bindura university made him put to test what he had always loved and read about- business. With help from his sister, he purchased a screen printing machine that saw him getting into a lucrative t-shirt printing business while in school.

“Getting into t-shirt printing business enabled me to be financially independent and made me confront the joys and pains of running a business among them having employees, balancing my time and meeting demands”

Tafadzwa is a multi-lingual businessman whose 4 year stay in China edified his portfolio. He speaks fluent Chinese and this helped him to work in two Chinese affiliated companies an experience that taught him many aspects of how Chinese people do their business.
