I am in my 50's and have a wealth of experience in dealing with People. I am a strong and independent woman who loves people and am truly interested in hearing other peoples history.

I have two grown children who both reside in Australia and have families of there own.

I have been married twice. My first husband is the father of my two children and I am still currently married to my second husband. We have been together for 28 years.

I am a foster parent to my first cousins child. There was abuse in their family and out of all the family, I stepped in and took the child to care for her since she was 6 months old. She is now 8 and we are committed to ensuring she stays with us until she is finished her schooling and studies.

I love South Africa and am proud to be an African woman.

I visit my family in Australia once a year and have no intention to ever go back to live there.

I started Diving in 1998 together with my husband. We have dived the barrier reef, red sea and all along the coast of Mozambique where we dive annually.

We have a small boat and have both completed our Skippers course. My husband has completed his rescue divers course as well as his Dive master course which enables us to take our boat out to see and dive together without assistance.

Actions speak louder than words. I think what you don’t know is more important than what you do as you can no longer learn if you think you know everything.

I believe you stop learning when you die. In listening to others speak, you learn a lot more than trying to prove what you already know.
