Zimbabwe Lady Who Use To Be An Air Hostess In Qatar Airways Becomes A Pilot

Meet – Precious Sibalo, inspirational Commercial Pilot from Plumtree, Zimbabwe.

She is a former Cabin Crew at Qatar Airways and holds an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) from 43 Air School, South Africa. Her late mother had her at age 17, she was raised by her grandparents and she wasn’t good in Mathematics at Secondary School.

At age 17, she also had a child and immediately relocated to South Africa because she could no longer proceed to the University.

Upon arriving in South Africa she worked as a waitress, but all this could not stop her from achieving her dream. “People should never give up on their dreams. I used the job of a waitress as a stepping stone. Some people will always say ‘I will never take this job’. No, take it and use it as a stepping stone. Work with excellence and cultivate your knowledge because knowledge is power.

These same waitress job, took me to Dubai and paved a way for my job at Qatar Airways,” said Sibalo.

Precious Sibalo is currently flying to build hours in South Africa, in an effort to achieve her next goal – flying big planes at Qatar Airways.
