Working alongside Tapfuma has been incredibly rewarding. I never expected to learn as much as I did and gain experience in areas I never thought possible. Our communication was seamless, and he understood every situation I was dealing with, despite his extremely busy schedule. I've gleaned a wealth of knowledge from Afrifursa and thoroughly enjoyed my time collaborating with the team!
