Work History
H.R/ Manager/ Senior Manager
The past few years
- The past few years have opened my eyes in departmental procedures and policies, but most importantly have placed me at the forefront of sport delivery and its dynamics
- At orientation in 2021, Mr Mathumbu said each of us are government, problems faced are there for us try solve. There is no other government but us with a mandate of service delivery and upholding Batho Pele principles
- Excellence is then a personal mandate that cannot be delegated to the next person. With great dedication to my work, I like to see tasks through, working well independently and in a team
- Being prepared and having an idea aids in asking questions to make sense of the bigger picture.I like to see plans and projects come together.

- Formed part of the organizing committee in galas and events.
- Before being elected secretary, I was a member of the committee since 2019 representing Heidedal Aquatics Club.
- ualified and worked as time-keeper during galas and was in the process of shadowing to become a judge and referee.
- In January 2020 a Learn To Swim course was held in Bloemfontein, where I was assisting as a facilitator. I was then encouraged to do the facilitators course that same year.

- Deployed at the Department of Education in Bizana to liaise between Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture and Department of Education.

- In my time at Education, I mentored 4 in-service training interns assigned to the section with event organizing , procurement, report writing and general administration. The 5th was a DSRAC intern who started as a volunteer in January 2023. In March 2024 she got employment in Johannesburg.
- Since 2022 I have been part of Umzila kaThambo Marathon LOC. I started mainly with administration, but have grown into project managing: communicating and meeting with the service providers, consulting about budget cuts and improvements (managing the budget) and reporting of developments as the project progresses, doing the close-out report and calling for an evaluation meeting.
- As a community youth project, became part of a netball team as a conditioning coach in Mhlanga, Bizana. The team was started with the aim of engaging youth in sport after it was noticed by a teacher that the youth in the community were victims of teenage pregnancy, had poor home backgrounds and succumbed to peer-pressure
- I am now pioneering swimming as a coach and organizer in the District, as an MEC project of having swimming a competing coding like other sporting codes.
- Compiled a concept document to formalise a working relationship with municipalities.

- I did follow-ups, counselling over the phone or referring to the relevant people, allocated mentors and diverted these people to the departments they would want to function under
