Mongameli Xulu

A dedicated, analytical and passionate Post-Graduate Student, currently pursuing my Masters in Commerce (M Com) in Economic Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand. I am an aspiring Economist with a desire to apply and further develop the tools to better understand the trends, risks and risk prevention measures in the local economy and from a global perspective as economic globalization increasingly influences business and trade, so that I may contribute to finding better ways for intermediary financial institutions to weather various economic crises.

01/2017 - 12/2017, Parktown, Johannesburg, Treasurer, Wits Junction House Committee. 

House committees deal with the needs of students in university, who are within residences and are also seeking to find a place in student residences, particularly Wits Junction for my committee. In my role as treasurer, it was my job to make sure that the finances of my residences, which pertain to student affairs, were in order. My house committee also managed to raise money for workers in the residence that experienced mainly transport issues. The committee also ran sanitary pad drives for less fortunate female students around the area. The committee also assisted to create and fund the first ever Junction Running club, that participated in events such as First National Bank run your city in Johannesburg. This position taught me the importance of running an organizations finances in an ethical and cost effective manner.

03/2021 - 03/2021, Soweto and Krugersdorp, Acting Cameo role, Rockville, Ferguson Films.

 Played the role of Spotter#1, a guy that spots and kidnaps the character Buhle, played by actor Thuli Phongolo. Although, as mentioned in previous acting job, this type of work is more on the arts sector, I find to be an important thing to be a person that creates ties not only in the corporate and finance business sectors, but also in other sectors so as to create holistic business acumen.

09/2020 - 09/2020, Krugersdorp, Acting Cameo Role, The Queen, Ferguson Films

 Played a small role in the series called Thug#3, a guy that helped torture the character Shaka, played by actor SK Khoza, for the Sebata family. I learned and experienced a lot in this role on the importance of being a versatile person in the work environment. That although this is a completely different industry from corporate and financial fields, I have the ability to do well in it as well when I apply myself.
