Inkosi ya Makhosi Gomani V has urged young Malawians to embrace perseverance and determination as keys to success in life.
Speaking at the grand opening of the Apple Guy Malawi shop at Gateway Mall on Saturday, Gomani highlighted the example set by the shop’s proprietor.
The traditional leader said young people should draw inspiration from Romulus Chikafutwa, a young entrepreneur who has achieved remarkable success despite starting small.
“Many youths can succeed if they face hardships with courage and determination,” Gomani said, emphasizing the importance of resilience in overcoming challenges.
Chikafutwa, Managing Director of Apple Guy Malawi, shared his journey, revealing that he began by selling phones from his car before opening his first shop in Blantyre.
The new Lilongwe branch marks his second outlet, and he said the experience proves that hard work and consistency pay off.
“Everything is possible. I started small and I urge youths to start no matter how modestly,” Chikafutwa told the gathering.
Apple Guy Malawi specializes in Apple gadgets, offering a range of smartphones, laptops, and accessories to customers across the country.
The launch event drew business enthusiasts and young people eager to learn from Chikafutwa’s journey.
Gomani concluded by encouraging youths to remain focused on their goals, saying perseverance is the foundation of achievement.
For many young entrepreneurs in Malawi, stories like Chikafutwa’s offer hope that success is attainable with vision and commitment.
The opening of the Lilongwe shop is expected to boost access to Apple products in the central region while inspiring young Malawians to pursue their business dreams.
