Summary
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In 1999 I enrolled for my B.Diac Youth Work degree at University of South Africa, Hugenote Collage, Wellington, Western Cape Campus.
During the duration of the 3 years course, I was involved as a youth work student with various farm workers and families of farm workers in
the Wellington and Paarl areas. During my studies of my subsequent honours degree in Pastoral Care, I worked as a pastoral care giver with
victims of family violence and other traumatised people. During my four years in Wellington I worked hand in hand with practising and
student Social Workers as I shared most of my classes and practical requirements with the student social workers at the campus.
After obtaining my Honours degree in Practical Theology, I went to the USA as a camp counsellor at Camp Carolina in Brevard, North
Carolina.
On returning to South Africa in 2004 I enrolled for and completed my LLB degree at the University of Pretoria. During 2004 I started off as
an articled clerk at Eugene Kruger & Co Inc. Attorneys while I was enrolled for my LL.B degree. I was admitted as an attorney on 28
January 2010.
In 2012 I enrolled for my LL.M degree in Environmental Law at the University of North West, Potchefstroom and successfully completed the

The subject of my dissertation is: “Die regulering van koolstofbelasting in Suid-Afrika”, translated as The regulation of carbon tax in South

I submitted and passed the dissertation during November 2014.
