Born in the vibrant city of Harare, Zimbabwe, Pangidzai Gazi's journey is a testament to determination, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of her passions. Her story is one of crossing borders and breaking barriers.
Pangidzai's educational odyssey began when her family relocated to South Africa, where she completed her secondary education at the prestigious St Stithians College. This formative experience ignited her thirst for knowledge and set the stage for her future accomplishments.
With an unquenchable desire to excel, Pangidzai earned her BSc (Honours) from the renowned University of Cape Town. Her hunger for business acumen led her to the Gordon Institute of Business Science, where she obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in General Management.
Pangidzai's commitment to leadership excellence shone through when she completed the Emerging Leaders Programme at the Gordon Institute of Business Science. This program sharpened her abilities and prepared her to be a catalyst for change.
Currently on the cusp of completing her Master of Business Administration at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, Pangidzai's thesis, "The role of unconscious bias in limiting women's leadership opportunities in the South African real estate industry," promises to shed light on a crucial issue in her chosen field.
With a rich and diverse career, Pangidzai has left an indelible mark. Her experience as a real estate advisor in a property management company, coupled with nearly a decade in the oil and gas industry, showcases her versatility. Her responsibilities in Retail, overseeing service station development, acquisitions, takeovers, and portfolio management, attest to her skill and dedication.

Her dual passions for property development and women's empowerment within the real estate industry are the driving forces behind her unwavering commitment.
Pangidzai's vision extends beyond her current endeavours. Her ultimate career goal is to establish her own property development company, where her innovative ideas and commitment to gender diversity will continue to shape the future of South African real estate.
