“I was born on a farm called Sunland and then moved to Nomathansanqa 1993. I played first team soccer for a club called United Brothers in 1998.

I strive to produce players that will play professional football one day.”

I’m the Founder of UPvisor, and with exposure to finance, reporting, operations, logistics, and other functions in corporate, I’m uniquely positioned to bring my financial know-how, coupled with an understanding of operations and technology to my clients.
