Work Background
Tetra4Stakeholder Relationship Manager
Mar. 2024As Stakeholder Relations Manager for Tetra4’s innovative gas project in Virginia, South Africa, I am deeply involved in shaping the success of the country’s first onshore gas operation. My role is multifaceted, encompassing stakeholder engagement, policy development, sustainability initiatives, and overseeing the company’s Social and Labour Plan (SLP). This project’s pioneering nature demands strategic thinking, resilience, and a solutions-driven approach. One of my notable achievements has been initiating a steering committee that unites mining industries, municipalities, and other key stakeholders. This collaborative platform is dedicated to creating legacy projects that benefit the local community, with a strong focus on small, medium, and micro enterprises (MSMEs), youth employment, and sustainable development. This committee serves as a foundation for long-term community upliftment and economic empowerment. Another critical aspect of my role is managing the implementation and reporting of the company’s Social and Labour Plan. Through this, I oversee initiatives designed to improve education, create job opportunities, and encourage entrepreneurship within the local community. These programs are aimed at ensuring the project’s benefits extend beyond its operational lifespan, leaving a lasting positive impact on the region. Sustainability is at the core of my work. From promoting environmental responsibility to fostering economic growth through community-focused initiatives, my contributions align with the project’s long-term vision of balancing business objectives with social and environmental priorities. Working in such a pioneering project requires adaptability, grit, and the ability to lead in areas with little precedent. By successfully managing complex stakeholder relationships and championing sustainable development, I am proud to contribute to the success and legacy of the Tetra4 Gas Project, a milestone in South Africa’s energy landscape.

Pelo&HartFounder
Jan. 2015 - Jun. 2021Welkom Free StatePelo&Hart TM was born from two social projects. Since 2015 we have been developing new products and recently we designed and printed our first own fabrics. These vibrant African-themed fabrics will be launched at the Torino Fashion Week 2019 and we hope it will allow us to build meaningful partnerships to expand to the retail market. When we started out in 2015, we used waste (ShweShwe fabric patches, cereal boxes, discarded hanging files and your old jeans) and turn it into beautiful jewelry, handbags and accessories. 100% cotton fabric from Da Gama Textiles, with its rich history in our Free State heritage stay one of our favourite fabrics to us. We are famous for our signature Pelo&HartTM button collar and cuffs, our vibrant patch back pack and the colourful Pelo dolls. A Pelo&Hart TM product is a must in every fashionista, "babynista" and their trendy gogo's cupboard. "Pelo" is a Sesotho word for heart and "Hart" is the Afrikaans word for heart - the combination has several meanings to me, but primarily I wanted to design a product which would showcase how different cultures can work together to create jobs, bring prosperity and make a difference in the world.
