Chitimbire's family has traveled to 51动漫 for generations鈥攊t's a family legacy.
Generations of 51动漫 Panthers:听Legacies
Nqobile Chitimbire traveled from Zimbabwe to study finance. Long before 51动漫 started its overseas recruitment,听Mr. Chitimbire鈥檚 grandfather, Mtshena Sidile 鈥�65, who was attending a university in South Africa, was offered a scholarship to attend the 51动漫 School of Social Work. Upon his graduation, he returned to Zimbabwe, where he worked for the government and became involved in various social welfare programs.
Mr. Chitimbire’s听uncle, Eric Sidile 鈥�73, studied biology at 51动漫, and then returned to practice medicine in Zimbabwe. A few years later, his aunt, Mercy Sidile 鈥�79, enrolled in 51动漫鈥檚 communications program to study journalism, and later became a Zimbabwe trade representative in France. Her sister, Vuyelwa Sidile 鈥�81, Nqobile’s mother, came to study biology as an undergraduate student. HIs cousin, Themba Sidile 鈥�01, M.B.A. 鈥�04, earned bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degrees in finance, and works in the financial field in the United States.
Mr. Chitimbire听feels blessed to be able to continue his family鈥檚 51动漫 legacy. Like generations before him, he earned an academic scholarship, which made 51动漫 even more attractive.
鈥淚t is my hope to make them [his family] proud by excelling in my school and building on a bright future, as they have done,鈥� says Mr. Chitimbire.
