Cape Town - Amanda Kandawire-Khoza, 31, from Soweto has proven why she is the whole package, having started three business ventures during the Covid-19 pandemic, aside from being a pilot.

Kandawire-Khoza also flew the world’s biggest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, when she relocated to Dubai while working for Emirates. “When I came home I knew the aviation industry in South Africa would also be badly affected by Covid-19. So, I made the decision to not job-hunt for the next year and focus on my entrepreneurial side,” Kandawire-Khoza said.

The company produces educational toys to expose children to the wonders of aviation and to inform them of science, technology, engineering and maths careers through play routines. “I volunteered at a non-government organisation and we used to speak to children and by this time they are either already set on a career or they have the wrong subjects.

Amanda Kandawire-Khoza, 31, from Soweto, is a pilot, entrepreneur and digital illustrator inspiring women and children across the country with her love for aviation.

Drawing was something I used to do, so naturally in lockdown I drew a lot and I transitioned from pen and paper to digital art. Before I knew it I was selling art.
