Precious Sibalo is an inspirational Commercial Pilot from Plumtree, Zimbabwe. She is a former waitress and flight attendant at Qatar Airways and is now a commercial airline pilot.
Her late mother had her at age 18, she was raised by her grandparents and she wasn’t good in Mathematics at Mtshabezi 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.
Precious said she was also a model as she is tall and beautiful
“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. The same waitress job, took me to Dubai and paved the way for my job at Qatar Airways,” said Sibalo.
Precious Sibalo is currently flying to build hours in South Africa, to achieve her next goal – flying big planes at Qatar Airways.
