Hello! My name is Ernest Mduduzi Fakudze, and I’m originally from Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland). I moved to the UK in 1995 at the age of 18, and it’s been home ever since.

I grew up in the countryside as an orphan, spending much of my childhood herding cows and donkeys. Moving to London was a turning point that opened up a world of opportunities for me. I’ve always been fascinated by the wider world, and over the years I’ve travelled to many countries to broaden my horizons and deepen my understanding of different cultures.

By profession, I’m a Software Developer. Outside of work, I’m a proud family man with three children. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball and capturing moments through the lens of my DSLR camera.

This blog is a collection of random stories, reflections, and experiences that I find meaningful and want to share. And for fellow BMW 740i E38 enthusiasts—keep an eye out for my posts about the ups and downs of owning (and sometimes struggling with) my accidental E38.
