Zimbabwean young lady Precious Sibalo has worked as a waiter and flight attendant before landing a job with a big airline.
Precious saw one on a field trip to the airport and became fascinated by the job from that moment on.
Once she found out that there were no other women pilots, she was even more determined to pursue a career where women were in the minority.
When Precious became a mother at the young age of seventeen, she had to put her dreams on hold. Furthermore, at the same period, her mother passed away.
Even though she was heartbroken and couldn’t stand being apart from her daughter, she knew she had to work to provide for her family.
Precious began her career as a waiter and part-time model in South Africa before moving to Dubai.
She spent barely three months in Dubai before joining Qatar Airways as a cabin attendant.
She was set to be promoted to senior cabin member after working for the airline for quite some time.
To the contrary, she enrolled in flight school that very year (2017).
She recently graduated from 43 Air School in South Africa and holds the most prestigious pilot’s certificate in the world: the Airline Transport Pilot License.
She plans to return to Qatar Airways operating their largest aircraft and is now logging flight hours in South Africa to do so.
