Sandile Shezi – A Role Model for African Youth
Indeed, at 23, this young South African became the youngest multimillionaire in his country. Founder and co-director of the financial brokerage firm, Global Forex Institute, Shandile Shezi comes from the poor neighbourhoods of Durban, South Africa, whereas a child, he sold his cakes.
His life was not at all rosy like many children his age. Sandile Shezi was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He built his future from the fruit of his efforts, his self-sacrifice, and his courage. It was by selling muffin cakes that he took his first steps in entrepreneurship when he was only 12 years old.
Sandile Zungu Mentorship
He grew up in the same neighbourhood as his role model Sandile Zungu, president of the Zungu Investments Company Limited. The company designed a leadership program for the prestigious American university of Harvard. From the experience and journey of hir mentor, Shandile Shezi was able to draw inspiration to forge his mind and feed on hope to achieve his goal. “I then said to myself: if he can do it, why not me?” he said on CCTV Africa.
The man takes a liking to entrepreneurship. So, with the profits gained from selling muffin cakes, Shezi decides to go for the clothing business. He went door to door, offering his articles.
Moreover, the young man speaks proudly in the magazine New 24 interview “this experience taught me a lot about business and the refusal of fate.”
On the strength of this enriching experience and this small success, Shandile Shezi decides to embrace the business world. He abandoned university under the desperate gaze of his parents to give himself the time necessary for the financial analysis required by trading. To do so, he uses his school fees as a starting bet.
Far from sacrificing his future as his parents thought, Shandile Shezi had just laid the foundations of the company that would put his name on the prestigious list of millionaires in his country. The man who is so respected and taken as an example by the youth of the rainbow nation, even continental.
A Passion for Risky Bets
Self-taught, Sandile Shezi does not, however, rest on his laurels. He trains and discovered a passion for risky bets. Over the years, he managed to establish business relationships. It led him to establish one of Durban’s most successful foreign exchange training companies, which he named Global Institute Forex based in Mhlanga, South Africa.
Global Institute Forex trains people and makes them understand when is the right time to buy or sell how to avoid losing your capital. And above all, it makes sure everyone understands trading. His company is positioned as the leading Forex training provider for young Forex traders with over 2000 trained clients.
Despite his success, Shandile Shezi still recognizes where he comes from. He wants to help all young South Africans who have projects that they cannot finance. The youngster hopes to help decrease unemployment, which is a major problem in South Africa, and then allow others to live their dreams as he does.
Sandile Shezi’s journey is a truly inspiring story for African youth who are most often lost in their bearings. As he says so well, “The road to success is never easy. In the same way you need air to breathe, so you must want success. Moreover, “in every rich man there is a poor child who believes in his dreams”.
