of years, but due to affirmative action I have not been appointed in promotional posts.
I have been known all my life as a person who reaches his goals with determination and hard
work and delivers and expects high quality of performance only. My successes had started in
high school already when I have excelled in athletics and rugby – I received National colours
in Athletics.
I have maintained the same determination and perseverance throughout my career and had
constantly been delivering good quality production. I set high standards for myself and expect
the same quality of work from every person who works with me. My motto being “I go big or I
go home” has been my trade mark for a number of years and although it is usually being said
in a humorous manner, that is exactly how I think and do. I firmly believe that, in order to
achieve success, one has to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
