EP5 - Engineering in Zambia, what you need to know to succeed with Kunda Tembo
<p>In Episode 5 of the Engineering in Africa Podcast, I spoke to Kunda Tembo about his Mining and Services Industry experience in Zambia. </p> <p>The purpose of the podcast was to help get insights into the engineering scene in Zambia. The context of the conversation was based on Kunda's experience as an engineer in the Zambian Mining Industry. </p> <p>The content was meant to help Zambian expatriates gain information on the engineering industry and how they can position themselves to get engineering work in Zambia. </p> <p>We also had a chat about how Zambian students and graduates can better position themselves to succeed in the engineering environment in Zambia. It was a great chat that gave meaningful advice on surviving the first couple of years as an EIT in Zambia and the typical challenges in the Engineering Industry in Zambia. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow Kunda Tembo on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kunda-tembo-beng-peng-reng-z-m-eiz-19123180/ </p> <p>Follow Nkululeko on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nkululeko-thusini/ </p>

EP4 - Becoming a socially aware and responsible engineer with Ziningi Malinga
<p>The great thing about being an engineering student is that the path to succeeding is predetermined:</p> <ul> <li>You know the engineering qualification's subjects and syllabus upfront.</li> <li>You know the number of assignments you must complete and the pass mark.</li> <li>You know the exam scope, dates, and pass marks.</li> <li>You know the books and material you need to utilize.</li> </ul> <p>Once you graduate, your instinct is you will obtain all the guidelines to navigate work-life. You will get all the support from colleagues and managers. You will seamlessly climb the corporate ladder.</p> <p>Yet, the reality is the opposite.</p> <p><strong>Finding your voice within the chaos</strong></p> <p>In Episode 4 of the Engineering in Africa Podcast, Ziningi Malinga talks about her journey from studying towards her Mechanical Engineering degree to discovering DecantAir.</p> <p>Her story is that of finding your voice and purpose within the chaos. The self-discovery led to finding a product that solves a common sanitation problem that many despise - the smell!</p> <p>As a child, Ziningi Malinga knew one thing - She wanted to solve problems. That aspiration she had as a kid evolved over the years to using her engineering training to solve problems that affect Africans.</p> <p><strong>DecantAir was born</strong></p> <p>DecantAir is a dissolvable toilet deodoriser. It is a simple product that seeks to eliminate the ever-so-common smell at the loo. Yet it has many other advantages, for example:</p> <ul> <li>it eliminates the harmful allergens from traditional toilet deodorizers,</li> <li>asthmatic persons avoid common sufferings from conventional deodorizers, and</li> <li>in the future, it will address sanitation issues related to bacteria/viruses that have serious social problems, especially in rural areas.</li> </ul> <p>What started as a simple home project is evolving into something that changes how we deal with sanitation.</p> <p><strong>Becoming a socially aware engineer</strong></p> <p>Ziningi's DecantAir journey demonstrates the importance of the engineers' role in solving some of Africans' social problems, especially in the rural areas.</p> <p>The reality is that African countries are mostly third-world. The budget constraints from many African countries mean we do not have the luxury of devising expensive solutions.</p> <p>Innovation and simplicity have become a must-have for many engineers in Africa.</p> <p>___</p> <p>Learn more about DecantAir</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DecantAir">Click here to visit the DecantAir Facebook page</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/DecantAir">Click here to visit the DecantAir Twitter page</a></p> <p>To place an order of DecantAir toilet deodorizers, WhatsApp 071 250 5220</p>
