I finished a 3 year apprenticeship in a heavy engineering machine shop that was servicing the sugar, pulp/paper and also the motor Industries. I then joined Nampak-Bevcan (high speed canning) as a shift fitter and subsequently got a Technician position. The last 7,5 years has been spent working as a mechanical foreman with three different FMCG (food) companies around Gauteng.
