A Few Words
About Me
My experience and Qualification
MBA, BTech Marketing, Advance Management Diploma, Certificate in Project Management, National Diploma in Marketing, , Diploma in Ministry, Certificate in Financial Modelling and Certificate in Life Coaching .
As someone who is passionate about SMMEs success and empowerment, l also serve as a Business Mentor for Fetola Business Growth Professionals, Cherie Blare Foundation
(International), National Mentorship Movement, Tony Elumelu Foundation (Africa), National Youth Development Agencies, Donors for Africa Foundation (Nigeria) and B4IR TVET.
I was nominated to be among the top 100 Difference Makers in SA for the charity work through the SEZ Foundation (NPO) that l founded in 2015, which advocates against teenage pregnancy, empowerment and help restore the dignity of a girl and boy child. I also do inspirational speaking focusing on business and social issues affecting young people, women and entrepreneurs.
Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it” Having a mentor allows the entrepreneur to get a different perspective of their business, when you have been running a business for a while you tend to accept and adapt to your own ways of business dealing and cannot see other opportunities and even the mistakes.
I have vast experience in enterprise development which dates back to 2001 when I was employed by Land Bank, ABSA (Development Centre) , and currently the government parastatal MEGA. In all those companies I have been directly involved with SMMEs funding, due diligence, mentorship, stakeholder management and project management.

Having an opportunity to serve as a panelist in several pitch competitions ,such as with NYDA, Durban University of Technology, SEDA (Empretech) and Tony Elumelo Foundation
(African continent), l have seen a need for a practical handbook which entrepreneurs can use to prepare their pitch and take advantage of the only platform where you can get an instant funding and coaching , this led to me publishing an easy to follow book titled “Mastering Your Business Pitch” in which when correctly applied and followed one can be able to secure the funding or any opportunity that one might require.
