Former Beauty Queen Praises Former Manager Mazibuko In An Emotional Social Media Post

A 2007 Miss Zimbabwe Pegant winner cum businesswoman took it to social media to praise former manager and mentor for helping her set up her successful business indirectly.

Writing on social media Lorraine Maphala-Phiri has this to say about Sipho Mazibuko:

In 2002 when I was crowned Miss Summer Strides, my then mentor and owner of the pageant took me with her on one of her business trips to South Africa and she said ‘girlie, you won’t buy shoes and bags for yourself with that prize money, but you’ll order bags and shoes for resale.

I’ve come far and I’m happy with the progress I’ve made so far, but still, it is work in progress. Sipho Mazibuko, thank you for passing on the baton, may God bless you and all that which concerns you.

Lorraine runs a successful hair business in Bulawayo.
