Zimbabwean young achievers in the UK

By Cecilia Kupera

It’s not every day you meet a confident, talented and intelligent individual with a heart willing to bring change into the lives of young people through business and motivational speeches. Tinashe Sibanda age 19 is a very dedicated entrepreneur who is the co-founder of Arambee Group Ltd.

As an entrepreneur he started with the vision ‘The Arambe Group Ltd which is able to provide business pathways for like-minded people with a drive and a passion for success.

Under the Arambe tree you also find that Tinashe was able to start his own company Clynergi Solutions. With Clynergi Solutions it is a cleaning company that seeks to establish itself as a leader in the maintenance industry.

The most amazing work ethic by Tinashe is that not only is he just the owner at Arambee, Director at Clynergi Ltd and Director Product Development at Tiano Paris Clothing but he is a very humbled Young Man who just doesn’t want to see only himself succeeding but also help other young people reach their own goals to succeed in life.

It’s very intriguing how at the age of 19 Tinashe has managed to work hard on changing his life and finding different ways to motivate people his age young and old. His work is phenomenal and a living inspiration to those within the society.

Working hard towards achieving his success and goals as part of the Arambee Group Ltd he’s working on expanding it into other different sectors including government-funded program called B.A.U (information in interview to follow).

He also managed to pitch his idea to Richard Branson and was picked as one of the top ten short lists for the Back Of An Envelope start up ideas. A young man wearing a suit tie ready to conquer the world and motivate others to be the best.

As part of the Effusive Team it was an honour interviewing Tinashe Sibanda and getting a bit more of what his vision is about and what made him to make something that other people find impossible to be possible.

We believe in sharing stories that can help and benefit others which is why Tinashe Sibanda was one of the perfect conversational people to feature. Read more about the Young Entrepreneur below:

What has been the best experience for you so far in the business world?

The fact Mr Richard Branson, supports my business idea is probably one of the best experiences of my life. To that end, l love inspiring young people. There’s no feeling out there such as seeing so many young people being inspired by me and what I do. 

How did you come up with the idea of starting Arambee? 

As an Entrepreneur, you are always juggling lots of business ideas which are great but can sometimes put you in a dilemma. My vision is to have lots of Businesses under one Umbrella. Arambee means working together in Swahili, and that is our business values and ethics. The first major business that was founded under the Arambee tree was Clynergi Solutions. A cleaning company that seeks to establish itself as a leader in the maintenance industry.

The Arambee Group has plans to expand into other sectors, one including a government-funded program called B.A.U (Business As Usual) that provides the 16-21 year olds the opportunity to progress further into their ideal career paths. Furthermore Arambee is the in the process of setting up 3 other enterprises in property, promotions and fashion.

We aim to create further employment opportunities aimed at young people, as a result of doing this we can inspire, achieve and fulfil our goal which is to tackle youth unemployment. 

What have you learned in the business world to be of good practise for young people to achieve their goals? 

I am a 19 year old multiple business owner. The advice I always give to young people is to be yourself.  Live your life with your heart what I mean by “Live your life with your Heart” is making sure everything you do is done with a passion. Whether its university, college, school, business or even something as small as buying gifts, do it with a passion. If you put 100% in everything you do in life no matter how big or small it is, as a young person you will progress so far in life. You become employable, investible and most importantly you stand out!

Last but not least, how have you managed to fit all your hard work with your lifestyle? 

My business is my life. Even when am sleeping my brains working and constantly trying to come up with new innovative ideas. “Hard work pays off” yes it’s a cliché statement but the reality is it’s true. Am 19 I work 70 hours a week, sometimes I even forget to eat or sleep just in case I miss that one opportunity that could change my life. I do this because it’s my passion it’s what I love doing. So my advice to you all is whatever you do protect your dream!
