Senior Chief Bvumbwe of Thyolo District has advised students who have completed a course in vocational skills training to start their own business rather than waiting to be employed.
He gave the advice on Friday at Game Haven Lodge in Bvumbwe, Thyolo during the graduation of students who have completed courses in hotel catering management, tailoring and fashion designing and electrical installation at Vision for Development Youth Organisation in Thyolo District.
The chief urged the graduates to ensure discipline and hard work as they venture into entrepreneurship.

Said Bvumbwe: “As graduates, the journey has just begun as you venture into various industries. You are supposed to be diligent and hardworking wherever you go.
“Do not wait for someone to employ you. Start your own small-scale businesses. I appeal to your parents to provide you with startup capital.”
The organisation’s director Charles Bokosi said the graduates have been equipped with various skills to build their capacity to stand on their own.
“Be innovative, do not wait for vacancies but rather start opening restaurants and tailoring shops for a start,” he said.
One of the graduates, Louisa Phinifolo, who has earned a certificate in hotel catering management, said she was grateful for the course and was looking forward to open her own restaurant.
