The minister noted that tourists need places with good food and top notch hygiene standards and Dulce’and Banana was offering this important service.

He said Zambia was in need of creative thinkers such as Dulce’ and Banana Proprietor and would stand ready to help youths with brilliant ideas.

And Ms Chipindo has called on women especially the young not to shy away from the business world.

She noted that women should shy away from the business world which is dominated because women make fierce business guru’s.

She said determination hard work and faith in God can put you in places you would have never dreamed of.

Ms Chipindo who whipped up a remarkable free food tasting that had variety from Zambian to Indian, Mediterranean and Swedish meals urged people to explore their talents and actualize their efforts.
