Fortune Mgwili-Sibanda was born in a bush by the side of the road in a small village in Matebeleland, Zimbabwe. The story goes that his mother’s water broke on the way to hospital, and so she gave birth to him right there and then. And just like he had forced his way out of his mother’s womb in the middle of nowhere on that day over 48 years ago, Fortune has gone on to live life on his own terms. He now serves as the Director of Public Policy and Government Relations at TikTok for Sub-Saharan Africa. He tells Citizen Digital that when the clock on his time on earth runs out, he wants to go out the same way he came in; as quickly as possible, without too much fanfare, and right where it all began.
