Summary
I am a young ambitious and creative South African. I’m a self- motivated somebody, dreams and goals driven and I foresee myself being an important asset, not only to the company I’ll be serving or my community but to the country at large. In whatever I do, I’m always dedicated as an individual and can also fully cooperate and give my all in group work.

I now have a full understanding of Irrigation design, Soil identification, Sugarcane, Occupational Health & Safety Farm Management.
