P aidamoyo (Paida) Goza has been entering SAICE’s Know Your Sector Competition for the past two years. “I was beginning to think that I would never win. But I am glad I perse- vered and grateful for it to be happening now as it could not have happened at a more opportune time,” he says. Paida is going to use his R10 000 prize money to pay off a loan for car repairs. “I would like to thank the SAICE team for this quiz. I hope that they will continue with this competition. I now realise that it is more than a competition but assists people,” he adds. Paida is a civil engineer at Sefako Engineering, a private firm offering both professional and construction services. His key areas of interest are water and sanitation design and construction. “I love being out in the field. It gives me the greatest joy and satisfaction to deliver infrastructure to people knowing that it will improve their lives,” he says. In his spare time Paida enjoys playing chess, hiking and reading SAICE’s Civil Engineering magazines and learning about new advancements in the built environment.  Qu i z Perseverance pays off
