Summary

I was born in the North-West town called Rustenburg on the 1st of January 1999. My education started at home where I was raised as a Christian boy by my parents. I obtained my matric at Helpmekaar College in Braamfontein Johannesburg where I was staying in the boarding school until my graduation. I see myself as a hardworking and responsible employee, enjoying every possible challenge life can throw me and use these challenges to expand my knowledge and maintain high standards in any business environment and therefore see myself suitable to be employed in any type of business with results guaranteed. I am an outgoing person just seeking to move forward in my work that I do.
