Good morning to you all. Thank you for being here. Have an impactful week.

[@Coxlife]

Morning Trevor my number one Monday show. I only wish you had interview my late uncle a zim best number pharmacist guru.... may his soul continue to RIP...

[@wadziemaparura4266]

Thanks to you, your shows are very enlightening.

[@donaldkanengoni6201]

Thank you Trevor you are really doing wonderful i have learnt a lot frm this platform

[@karensithole5202]

How can you be contacted, Trevor?

[@foxbat473]

Many big Thanks to you Trevor ❤

[@patrickmukwindidza656]

Loved it! I am a mining engineer from UZ as well (26 years ago!!), now working in Australia and am so happy to see the young mining engineers coming through the system are still as sharp as we were!

[@adamanthony7465]

My grandfather took the same degree in Edinburgh having been a coal miner in the 1920s..he became the director of Workington Steel Works.. part of Sheffield Steel.. during the war ..he combined his love of mining like Amanda..with a fear and reverence for our Lord.. Such lives have the makings of curatorship . Zimbabwe need s this ladies story . Zimbabwe needs custodians of her wealth... people who can accept responsibility with humility. Perhaps Amanda is one. With thanks and sincere respect for a story full of emotion for me.

[@TSZee]

5 minutes in and liking the interview, thanks Trevor for this one. There is something Amanda highlighted which sadly is still part and parcel of our education system- lack of proper career guidance

[@matthewdondo8903]

As a Mining student on industrial attachment this is very inspiring...I started about about a month ago and the work has been very tough,you have to learn lots of stuff in a very short period of time,learning the proper way to do tasks and also the shortcuts they use at the mine,balancing time between yourself and work.,working up at 4:30 am and getting home around 6 pm.The first few weeks are very tough coz i had lots of confusion and i discovered that most of the things we learnt at school are not actually whta you experience hands on ,but the more i face challenges the tougher i become and the more i want to learn.....Mining choses you as she said you dont chose it

[@rojamillerover]

I hope you show trevor's show on national TV because this is gold. Better than any program we have in Zim

[@raynkosi]

I wonder why they rejected his application for private TV licence

[@mosstheboss287]

As a father of daughters, I am truly inspired by your story Tigere. Thank you. Trevor I almost pressed Subscribe again after listening to this interview.

[@jamesgrahamclas5204]

This is opening up all the “secret” things we’ve. Ever spoken about openly as a society. It will help the young girls for sure

[@prechardmhako8336]

Powerful story! Well done Amanda, your story will inspire many! Thanks Trevor for having her on the show.

[@herbertmhangami]

Very inspiring from such a young lady. Wish you the best in your future endeavours Amanda, the sky is the limit for you

[@vimbaiamoah]

Brilliant interview! Got me crying at some point. Amanda is full of wisdom.

[@herbertmazonde6356]

Well done Amanda. I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. You are an inspiration to many young people. Trevor, you the real deal in town. Keep up the fire of candid conversations.

[@shepherddhlamini2310]

Another wonderful conversation with a young brilliant mining engineer. I hope she is journaling these lessons for a book and sharing with other young professionals.

[@jamesgrahamclas5204]

Love how Amanda sees God in it all and credits His providence to her journey. Also love how she embraces who she is and where she came from. It’s quite true that exposure plays a key role in many cases in life. As someone has said “talent is evenly distributed but opportunities are not”

[@tsitsidhambuza2380]

welldone Amanda, you make us proud 💪🏻

[@dentonchabayanzara5015]

Yeah proud of the young lady

[@Tapiwa_Mesa]

Always looking forward to a new episode. This is quite interesting and challenging as well. Thanks Trevor for this episode

[@depores]

Nice conversation. I am a former Goromonzi guy from way back and the academics there was (under Chigwedere) serious. I can tell from the depth of her inspirational stories that this high school still has its mojo. Go Gimonz.

[@shepherddhlamini2310]

Trevor, your questions are brilliant. This is a beautiful platform.

[@jamesgrahamclas5204]

Really loved how she owned up to being open to learning from her peers to see if she could learn how to produce in spite of the resistance. It shows greatness of mind on Amanda’s part and I can see how this will help. Love how she’s talking to Trevor like a friend “haa Trevor sha”

[@langtontsiga7832]

Wow! You are phenomenal Eng Amanda, you are an epitome of how great women can become if given the space. Hats off to your loving family members and all those who believed in you. Mentorship by women like Dr Grace Muradzikwa, Clara Mlambo, Precious Nyika etc may help you to achieve your dream of making it to the pinnacle of the mining industry. Thanks Trevor for this conversation.

[@vincentmanungo8371]

Good job Mr Trevor Ncube keep it up.I feel blessed to hear these stories of Mining because i was once there for a short short time.Serious guys it's not easy to lead people especially when you are a woman.Thanks to Amanda for breaking some of the barriers and giving some thought to some female out there who want to learn certain jobs.Plz Mr Ncube may you bring Mr Mutumwa Mawere on the show.

Great stuff Trevor. Your program brings answers to our national problems. Amanda and other young leaders should be given chance to contribute on the direction the country should be run.and the most seasoned people you have interviewed in this program can be the back benchers. She is 27 but very powerfull.

I'm inspired 👌 Your background almost got me in tears ... Great family 💞 And you made it 👋👋👋 Goromonzi my former school ... So proud of you ❤️

[@ossie500]

Cool, that was my faculty in the 90s. Is Professor Voss still there. I only enjoyed his lectures. Well done Amanda, keep pushing you will conquer. All else is just the imposter syndrome, common in most technical careers.

[@tinasheclifford1427]

Very inspirational. As young mining engineer aswell, this interview is very motivational . I like how you continue manage your doubt, and believe in yourself. We can definitely do it 💪

[@ruvimbo2859]

Well done Eng...

[@dotdoh2693]

Amanda this is amazing. U really need to have your own mine .You need 1.Think about it .Dont rush it .Get the experience there. We can come and consult you coz right now its difficult to get advice on mining issues .We need such young people like u whom we can relate to at our level.. You seem to be an approachable person. Register yo own mining comp with ZIDA.U really can do amazing greater things .Our Zim gvt is empowering and helping women in mining too.Dont rush it but its the way to go Amanda.Young miners need your help.

[@weddiemakomichi2019]

Beautiful story

[@tauzin7]

I was born by a woman. My first boss was my mother, a woman. I am the only boy in our family. My second boss was a woman after college. I have never seen competence in the eyes of gender. I missed out on the program I really wanted to do because I was a man due to Affirmative Action. Men and women have different areas of strength. The differences are positive and negative. I have a wife, four daughters and a house assistant. I am still the only male in the house. I do not teach my daughters to confuse competence with gender, neither should they expect sympathy from this world because they are female. In the work place, competence is KEY! When they see what you can do they will respect you. When you miss the mark, they will tell you in their own language.

[@patriciachakawatah2787]

Wow ... Zimbabwe is struggling but I can see there's a breed there that's really tough ... Well done Amanda 👌😏 Beauty with brains 👋👋👋

[@kossammusundire5194]
