Female mechanic is changing the game and breaking stereotypes

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Memory Bere is proof that you can do anything you put your mind to. The female motor mechanic ventured into a male-dominated industry and is doing very well for herself.

She was born in Chipenge, Zimbabwe and her career has flourished in neighbouring South Africa.

The mechanic says that she was raised by 4 words: "Mubatei muuye naye pano," which translates to, "Catch it and bring it here."

Memory wants to inspire other women to never allow society's stereotypes to hold them back. Her hopes for 2022 are to open her very own workshop and introduce more women in the mechanics field.
