Personal message
I'm married to a wonderful and super dynamic wife with 2 daughters aged 4 and 7 years old.
Helping and assisting others in need has become a priority to me for the past few years but I find it very difficult in providing assistance in the right place in order to optimise one's efforts. Children are in an unfortunate situation where they cannot yet fend for themselves and if we don't help them who will?
My late father introduced me to cycling at an early age and to this day cycling is my most loved sport of all.
Hopefully I can also become a supporting figure to children in need and assist with their development into young contributing adults in our communities.

Home of Hope was started in 2005, and we are an NPO that cares for abandoned and abused children and children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD – permanent brain damage caused by pre-natal exposure to alcohol). We are a registered place of safety and we have 19 children in our long term community based foster care.
The organisation also caters for the special educational needs of children suffering from FAS (Foetal Alcohol Syndrome) and neurological challenges, in our Amathemba Learning Centre. There are currently 37 children at our Amathemba Learning Centre.
