Good afternoon friends, I'll take a moment to discuss job creation with you this evening. I'll begin with a thread and then you'll be welcome to comment and ask questions. As an Economics student at UNZA, I was fortunate to have had an internship at Coopers and Lybrand, a corporate advisory and accounting firm. By the time I was graduating on a Friday, the job was ready the following Monday. #aThread

I thought I'd share some of my thoughts about entrepreneurship and 10 ways the UPND government will create a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. #issathread I've been blessed to have had a career in the private sector where I spent many years of my life, steeped in economic management. I had the opportunity to build networks and participate in transactions that saw the development of new enterprises that grew to employ thousands.
