Heresy Herry came tops at the Afrulencer Awards which were held in Bulawayo last week, with the businessman hailing his upbringing for propelling him to success later on in life.
Herry, a father of three who is a Country Business Development executive, has been in the banking field for the past 21 years. He is also into farming. He is a board member in several institutions, educational institutions to be precise, and also in customer service.
“For the youth, I would give them to work on the term consciousness which also entails discipline, purpose, and hard work. Also, as people we have to understand why God has put you in a certain place and gives you the motivation to pursue”, said Herry.
Herry grew up in Braeside, Harare and learnt at Cranborne and Midlands State University (MSU). He was raised by a single mother who taught him the importance family.
“During the school terms I would be in the urban areas and during holidays in rural areas in Masvingo. I was really blessed with a taste of both worlds because that is what completes your personality, ‘ ubuntu’”, said the Afrulencer Man of the Year Award winner.
Herry believes in appropriating his time between being a banker and a farmer. He achieves both as he knows how to manage his businesses. He is passionate about being a trustee. He is part of a trust which is charged with mitigating poverty which does a lot of outreach work in the eastern communities. They are also working on assisting a group of people in Bulawayo to set up a law firm.
