THE ROAD TO SUCCESS FOR FISHANI MHANGO.

Fiskani Mhango is a teacher by profession and is currently doing his bachelor’s degree in education at Domasi College of education.
The young Mhango is also an enterprenuer, he thought that no matter how rewarding the full-time job could be, but finding or establishing a side business and eventually becoming fully self-employed is even more meaningful and beneficial.

Fiskani is encouraging people to be visionary focused if they are to do better in life. Life is all about ups and downs but these should not let everybody down, he concluded.
