Africa-Press – Eswatini. Zama Nkambule left home with only E50 in his pocket. He wasn’t starting a business, he was starting life. Today, he is the director of M4 Enterprise Ltd, a registered IT company in Mbabane. The company sells, fixes, and supplies computers and networking tools.
Known to many as Prophet Austin, Nkambule built his business through faith, hard work, and service to others.
His journey took a big turn two years ago when he returned to Eswatini from South Africa. At the time, he had been working on TV with Apostle M.J. Mohlala. Before that, he spent seven years at Channel Yemaswati, where he learned important skills. Though the media job in South Africa was exciting, Zama missed his children. Being far from his family pushed him to return home and start something of his own.
He had no money to begin with. So he set up a desk in front of his house and placed broken computers on it. Then he told people, “I fix computers.” Many already knew him from Channel Yemaswati, so they trusted him. Slowly, the business began to grow.
Zama chose a slogan from the Bible, “Occupy, do business till I come.” To him, this is a call to stay active and work with purpose. “IT is not going anywhere,” he says. “It keeps changing, but it’s here to stay. People want quick, easy solutions” Nkambule says.
He registered M4 Enterprise Ltd, added more services, and began supplying to schools, government, and private clients. Over time, the company gained trust and more customers. Zama didn’t walk the path alone. He brought in his brother, Vuyani Nkambule, as a partner. “We’re both technicians,” Zama explains. “But Vuyani is the one who focuses more on the technical side.”
Running the business has not always been easy. Sometimes payments are delayed after deliveries. At other times, business becomes slow. “That’s why I save money during good months,” he says. “It helps keep the company going when things are tough.”
Besides IT, Nkambule has also started supplying cleaning materials to schools and companies. For him, growing a business is not just about profit, it’s about creating value and helping others.
He shares one lesson with young people, always be willing to learn. “If your boss corrects you, don’t take it the wrong way,” he says. “They might be helping you improve. That advice can change your life.”
M4 Enterprise Ltd is located in the 4Square Building above Lewis Stores, facing the busy Mbabane bus rank. This central location has helped the business grow and remain accessible to clients across the city. For services or enquiries, customers can reach the company at 7693 9273 or 7993 9273.
From a simple desk with broken computers to a trusted IT company, Zama Nkambule’s journey shows that hard work, faith, and the right mindset can turn a small start into something great.
