This is the hot 24 year old female jet fighter pilot making tongues wag all over social media
Social media is currently ablaze and it’s all courtesy of Thokozile Muwamba, a 24 year old 4-year-old Second Lieutenant has made history in Zambia as the country’s first female fighter pilot to be accepted into the male dominated area of the military.
She joined the military at 22 and was fortunate to be part of the Zambian Air Forces programme to train female pilots which was started to bridge the gender gap in the field.
Second Lieutenant Thokozile Muwamba quit as a first-year student at the Copperbelt University (CBU) to join the military and pursue her dream career of being a pilot a decision which has finally paid off.
“Men are not a competition but counterparts that one should work with, and hence women should begin to participate and realize their abilities. Because of this understanding, I am ready to undertake this task ahead of me,” she told local media Times of Zambia last week when asked about her experience in being in a male dominated field.
I look at the fact that when I am in the aeroplane, the aircraft knows no sex as it depends on my input even if I am a woman. I can also give it the right steering for it to respond correctly,” She further added.
And what does it take to achieve what she has achieved? Well, hardwork and determination she made it clear.
Her advice for fellow women is that impossibilities can be made possible as long as one was determined to attain one’s goal.
