Zimbabwean Born Commercial Pilot Who Worked As A Waitress Says The Job, Took Her To Dubai & Paved The Way For Her Job At Qatar Airways

Meet – Precious Sibalo, Zimbabwean born Commercial Pilot, holder of the Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) world’s highest level of Aircraft Pilot Licence from 43 Air School, South Africa and former Cabin Crew at Qatar Airways.

She was raised and schooled in the rural areas in Plumtree and high density suburb Magwegwe, Bulawayo. Her late mother had her at age 17, she was brought up by her grandparents and she wasn’t good in Mathematics at Secondary School. She also had a child at age 17 and relocated to South Africa cause 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. The same waitress job, took me to Dubai and paved the way for my job at Qatar Airways,” said Precious Sibalo.

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

Precious Sibalo is one of the inspirational panelist scheduled to speak at the upcoming 3rd African Women Summit in Kigali, Rwanda from 12 – 13 May 2022.
