First and foremost, I am a father to my son, with all else being a means to this end. As the only son of my parents and the eldest among my three sisters, I proudly assume the role of a father figure to my nephews and niece, as well as being a reliable provider for my entire family. Growing up in rural Transkei, Eastern Cape, my life changed when my father passed away when I was 11. This loss compelled me to mature quickly, and with my mother's strength, I supported the family by age 20 after completing my National Diploma. Understanding the importance of my family's success, I brought them from the Eastern Cape to Gauteng, transitioning from rural life to owning properties in Johannesburg. These choices provided better prospects for my mother, siblings, nephews, and son, Mila. My educational journey began in rural Transkei, leading me through rustic schools before relocating to Mpumalanga, where I completed my Matric. Over the past two decades, I have expanded my knowledge in Risk Management across various industries. My formal studies provided a strong foundation, but my commitment to continuous learning has truly broadened my knowledge. I am dedicated to pursuing practical solutions rooted in my experience and research, challenging conventional wisdom and evaluating outcomes based on real-life experiences. As an auditor and risk management professional, I have thrived in the corporate world, safeguarding my family from prevalent pitfalls. My unwavering commitment to enhancing my skills stems from my dedication to being a father to my son and a provider for my family. After publishing my first book in 2023, I now explore and write about subjects that intrigue me.
