Zingani's Earlier life[edit]

School Life[edit]

School life is the best life. Anyone who has been a student knows what school life is all about: It is the golden period of learning and it truly impacts students’ lives. The importance of school life cannot be negated and it is a vital formative experience for children and adult students alike.

The school represents an important learning experience that teaches us self-confidence, motivation, and the will to always give our best. In addition, school blesses us with friends, many of whom remain with us for the rest of our life. School days really are the best days of our lives.

Kansenshi Primary School[edit]

Zingani Ndhlovu, started school at Kansenshi^[5] Primary School in Ndola, in 1981, wearing a brown Khaki Safari suit uniform with shorts. As a schoolboy, He learned to co-operate and got motivated and shaped in the company of my best friends, to whom after 45years still call friends. He still remembers the first year wishes he received from my teachers and He always regard my primary school life memories in Ndola as a treasure.

Jacaranda Basic School[edit]

For upper primary Grade Six and Seven, Zingani Ndhlovu enrolled in Jacaranda^[6] Basic School, in Lusaka after his parents relocated to the Capital City of Zambia, Lusaka. Zingani stayed at Jacaranda Basic School until 1987.Three of his classmates later become his best men at his wedding.

Rhodespark School[edit]

Zingani's time in Junior high school was at a private school, Rhodes Park School^[7], an equally valuable learning experience, meeting some of the best friends and mind openers. Admittedly, Zingani made a lot of blunders and mistakes during his high school years. But thanks to sincere friends and honest teachers, He was always rescued from too much trouble. Zingani sent two years at Rhodespark School, from 1988 to 1989.

King's High School[edit]

Looking back, Zingani realized how ignorant he really was during those school days and how many shortcomings he had. However, his time at King's high school^[8] showed how important school life was and how he would not have the great friends, good knowledge, good experiences, and good memories he has today if it was not for his Senior high school years. Zingani spent one year and a half at King's High School, in the Thornpark area in Lusaka.

Despite the excitement with which the King's high school days and years are filled, Zingani became mature enough to understand the value of time. King's high school life was a wonderful chapter in his memories because he learned dedication, hard work, motivation, and self-actualization.

Munali Boys School[edit]

During his Eleventh and Twelfth Grade at Munali Secondary school, these were also the period in which he started working hard towards his goals. Thanks to that, He is happy with the career and the life he have today.

Forming study groups, with friends from other schools, using British Council study facilities, and doing extra lessons with Mr. Bayaht and Professor Ngalande. Zingani sat for his O' Levels at Munali Boys School and passed with flying colors.

It is said that a person always remembers their first day at school and their last day at school. The first day a child remembers because it came there weeping. And the last day a student remembers because they leave school, weeping again. In Zingani's case, He remembers clearly his first day at school in Ndola and his last day at Munali Boys. The joys of school life are surely countless. Indeed, school days are the best days of everyone.
