ABOUT
ME I was
born in 1969 in Cape
Town . I grew
up in the Western and Eastern Cape before starting school in
the Transkei in 1975. I spent my 1st 6-7 years of primary
school at Nqabara Junior Secondary in Willowvale (Gatyane).
My final 2 years of High School were both done at St John's
College in Umtata (the former capital of the former
Transkei- now in the Eastern Cape). The other schools I went
to include; UMboya J.S.S (Willowvale/Gatyane), Inxu J.S.S
(Tsolo- Northwest of Umtata), iNtywenka J.S.S (Tsolo) and
Daliwonga Senior Secondary{Cofimvaba--approx. 20km East of
Queenstown and West of Umtata} (Standard 5 to
8). My 1st
fulltime employment was with
Standard Bank in
Hillbrow in 1989. I later requested a transfer to Epping
Industria in Cape Town. Spent most of my time as a Ledger
Clerk and later as a Teller and Communications Officer
(whatever that meant), but upward mobility was restricted.
So, decided to further my studies. I spent 3 years (from
August 1991-August 1994) doing my Bachelors in Business
Administration (major-Accounting). For 3 months during this
period, I had a 3 month internship at Ernst
& Young in
Cape Town (June-August 1993). Upon graduation, I had another
3 month internship with J.O Mitchell, CPA in Houston
(Texas) I
successfully completed a Masters of Business Administration
(MBA) program at Loyola
University in
New Orleans in May 1997. I am presently employed as a
Management Consultant PricewaterhouseCoopers in Cape Town.
My duties include professional business advisory
services. I am
single, non-smoker, non-drinker and do not use drugs. I play
tennis and other sports. I enjoy debating and travelling. My
intended main focus is strategic management and strategic
marketing, while HR, general management and Finance
are fields I have interest and competency
in.
