MANAGEMENT

SUMMARY

I completed high school in 1988, at the time, poverty and the political situation were the architects for not entering the doors of a tertiary institution. I then started my working career in the dying phases of apartheid South Africa, with the best possible job available at the time. The much appreciated job had however, put food on the table. Being a skilled worker for the rest of my life was never an option, which lead to my personal quest for knowledge, all in the midst of starting my own family.

Spending my days working and evenings studying took me from a matriculated tradesman with an NTC, to PG Certificate to Higher Diploma to BTech and finally into an MBA programme, which I completed at Stellenbosch University’s Business School. I thank my high school teachers, ex-bosses and those in the past who had little or no confidence in me. For I would never have advanced without your negativity.
