So I asked him if that is what he was doing, and he told me \u2018I am just doing deliveries to get by while I do my training here in South Africa\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Chris felt so passionately about becoming an ambassador for access automation and CENTURION in Burundi, that he even volunteered to do installation work for no payment just to obtain hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<p>This is the inspirational story of Chris Desire Nimubona, in his own words.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.centsys.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Chris-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI come from Burundi. I came to South Africa in search of a better life, and decided to attend some training on CENTURION products. I asked around about where I can do training on sliding gates, and eventually visited the [CENTURION] Pinetown branch, which is where I met Emmalene. She was the one who clearly understood my vision, and helped me to get started attending training on CENTURION products.<\/p>\n<p>I started installing gate motors in Burundi earlier this year, and I was telling everyone to use CENTURION\u2019s products. My country didn\u2019t really have a wide variety of systems for securing homes and businesses, which is why I decided to learn more about CENTURION\u2019s security solutions. I completed training courses for installing swing and sliding gate motors, intercom systems, garage door motors and traffic barriers, as well as troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<p>It has always been my dream to have my own company, and I have big plans for D-Tech to sell CENTURION here in Burundi and other parts of East Africa.
