Great moments are born from great opportunity.If you can imagine it ,you can achieve it. If you can dream it , you can become it. No matter where you are today .It should be not the yardstick to determine your tomorrow . Today, I am touching a story of a young man soon after high school tempted from being a DJ, to working as a primary school teacher. But his first full-time job was in the central reservations department at Meikles Hotel, Harare, back in 2003 and previously worked in the hospitality sector in Dubai. His name is Simba Mhuriro , the founder and Managing Director of Oxygen Energy Private Limited, an independent power producer and renewable energy development company that specialises in utility scale power plants and commercial rooftop projects.
