My names are Sydney Luwaile. I was born in 1970 from Chipata Zambia and I was raised by both my parent s.
I started my grade 1 from Chipata day basic school and I learned at the same school until my grade 9 in 1989. In 1990 I went to learn at Chipata secondary school until the year I completed in 1992.
After my high school I remember my parents would now afford to sponsor me into a higher learning facility and so i decided to start helping my friend out who was a taxi driver as he would pay me something by the end of the day.
During that period I realized that taxi business had money and so I was inspired to save and look for my own car until I acquired one in the year 2000.
I started my own driving as I didn't want to employ someone else while I worked for other people too so the extra money I could get is what helped me to overcome a few challenges.
When I started I would work during the day and part of the night too as most of my friends would take their times out having fun and so I use to take advantage of that.
The place I operate from is a bit far from time so this makes most people use us taxi drivers for easy and fast access to reach town and that why I keep my car road worth.
I have one child who wishes to be a pilot and so I work very hard to support his education.
I spend most of my friend time taking straws with my wife, having fun with my son and also visiting my friends.
I am a taxi driver.
My services are on demand because town is distant from were we operate from so only a few people manage to walk or cycle there
While others use taxis.
I chose this kind of business because it pays me well.
When I buy fuel worth $10.00
I make $30.00 in a day as I use the profits for home improvements and also pay for my son's school
I will buy a tire worth $10.00 as this will benefit me to make a lot of movements compared to the few ones I make now because i'm limited of were my car can reach because of the dead tires.
I expect to start earning from $30.00 to $45.00
