About

I graduated with a Diploma in Motor Vehicle Systems from the Swaziland College of Technology in 2003. I then proceeded to work for different Companies in the motor vehicle industry in a bid to gain hands-on experience and sharpen my expertise in the field. Over the years have been a technician, dealership foreman, workshop owner, and now a Motor Vehicle warranty claim Agent.
