Mzi is a friend that I got along the way and it’s funny because he’s also a Youth Ambassador at JiK’iZinto. He has been an unintentional mentor in the electric mobility industry, and our connection feels meaningful given the circumstances of our meeting.

I met Mzi through his best friend, who sadly passed away- a friendship that left a profound impact on my life. Despite the unexpected way we met, Mzi's words and insights have been a constant source of inspiration and guidance for me. Although he's not aware of the impact he's had on me, his passion for sustainable transportation and his thoughtful perspectives have resonated deeply. His ability to cut through the noise and offer wisdom has helped shape my approach to this industry.

I'm grateful for the lessons he's shared, and I appreciate the bond we formed through shared loss and mutual support. Mzi may not know the impact he's had on me, but to me, he's a true mentor, and I cherish the wisdom he's imparted. One day I will tell him about him guiding me because I don’t want him to feel any pressure for now I’ll let him be.
