In previous roles, I was a Non-Executive Director of Ezemvelo Wildlife, focusing on conservation and ecotourism, and served on the board of the Joburg Fresh Produce Market, Africa’s largest, with a turnover of R8 billion. Academically, I am a member of both CIMA (UK) and SAIPA, holding an MBA and a PhD in Ethical Leadership, with research focused on governance in South African municipalities. I completed Stanford’s Seed Transformation Leadership Program and was recognized as South Africa’s Young Farmer of the Year in 2016. As Chairman of INZALO Utility Systems, I led the company to win the Global Water Award in 2019 for a project that reduced Cape Town’s water consumption by 40%, helping avoid Day Zero.
