The story of Lazarus :The builder from Hammanskraal



 The story of Lazarus :The builder from Hammanskraal


"Jack of all trades and master of all!"‎



Lazarus is a true gem in the eyes of contractors, as he is a builder, painter and tiler. During the interview, his eyes lit up with passion as he talked about his trades. Lazarus explained how he learned his trades from his father in Hammanskraal , where they lived at the time. Lazarus is also a leader amongst the other laborers, it seems they would most likely turn to him for advice. He is a charming fellow who has dreams of one day starting up his own company.

Lazarus is a man with big dreams he started to dream the day his father handed him his first brick. He believes his skill set sets him apart from the rest of the builders on the site. He is respected by the rest of his fellow workers. Lazarus has more than 20 years of experience, working with his dad and working for private people and now working for a construction company named Legocon. With this background he is eager to take on the future. He has dreams to become a supervisor on a building site,  where he hopes to lead onto construction manager. His dreaming doesn’t stop there..one day we will see him has the CEO of his own construction company.
 
According to Lazarus, the thing he enjoys about his job is watching his hard work pay off-to see a structure develop over time. He says the best thing about his job is working with his hands, and he does that every single day. He is very passionate about his job, and he loves it every step of the way. He sets an example for the rest of the world, by showing us how much we are supposed to love our jobs. He says working outside in beautiful South Africa is a big bonus. Apart from all the experience Lazarus consists, every day is still a day filled with learning for him. He believes school never stops, and that you are never too old to learn-he considers learning on site everyday as a gift.
