I am a 27 year old male from a town called Kimberley in the Northern Cape, South Africa. I matriculated from Northern Cape High School in the year 2000; however, I lived in Johannesburg throughout my junior and senior schooling career. I was raised by a single mother and my grandparents and have 2 brothers and one sister. Due to us being such a big family, my elders were unable to afford sufficient funds in order for me to continue my studies at tertiary level.  This led me into the working environment immediately after matriculating.

I have always been ambitious and believed that my destiny was not something that would be easily achieved but would be attained through hard work, dedication, faith and will power.

At age 20, I started a courier company based in Durban but due to the shrewd nature of business; my business was unable to thrive.  I have never let failures in business deter me from being a successful entrepreneur, as I believe that the most successful entrepreneurs became great through the good and bad experiences in business.

Personally, I am a levelheaded person and can work extremely well within a team as well as on my own.  My natural ability to interact/liaise with people on all levels, together with my friendly personality and excellent people skills can only be an advantage to my future business endeavors.
