PICTURE OF ZIMBABWEAN SCHOOL DROPOUT AND HIS NEW HELICOPTER PROTOTYPE AND MANY OTHER INTERESTING THINGS INVENTED

This is not the first time that we are hearing about a school dropout achieving great feat on earth.In the field of Information Technology,we have many of them like that.We understand that Bill Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973,only to drop out two years later to found Microsoft with childhood friend Paul Allen.Michael Dell the founder of Dell computers dropped out also and many more.If these dropouts are doing well,it is a prove that success in life has a little to do with what type of certificate that one carries or the kind of School attended.I think it is just self determination to succeed that matters.This self -determination is not taught in the classroom.Even if it is taught,no one can be forced to practice it. Read the story of the young man and I believe that the world will soon read your own story too in Jesus name amen.

Zimbabwean designer, inventor and entrepreneur has unveiled a series of firsts in the country with his company’s catalogue of new prototypes including a helicopter that uses different types of fuel, a locally-produced electric car, a ‘green’ generator and many others

You can imagine that when Sangulani Chikumbutso dropped out of Form 2 (grade 9) his prospects seemed to veer away from all things bright. He had been brought up in a poor, high-density suburb by a single mother after his father had absconded. But apparently, he had not given up on himself.

TechZim writes that, while in primary school, he had begun experimenting with electrical technology so much so that he was profiled an a television programme as a talented young man. Back then, he aspired to become a mechanic like his father, a journeyman

Fast-forward a couple of decades to find Chikumbutso in an impeccably-tailored grey suit, introducing to a warehouse full of journalists and fascinated onlookers a series of fancy gadgets designed, developed and built by his company SAITH Technologies.

Yes, Sangulani Chikumbutso was on Monday launching some of his company’s products which included a hybrid engine-powered helicopter, an electric car, a magnetic converter, a ‘green’ power generator and a special drone.

With this launch, he has established himself as the first Zimbabwean to design and make an electric-powered vehicle and a hybrid helicopter. Check out some pics from his Monday launch taken by News Day below:
