I offered legal support to 44 business units. These business units ranged from Property, Finance, Procurement, Marketing, Corporate Affairs, etc My primary function as the Legal Advisor was legal, Risk and Compliance. I have left Transnet to started my own legal consultancy for the last year.
I will also be the first person of colour in the world to have a Phd thesis on two huge sectors, Shipping/ Maritime and Aviation. I will be submitting my ground breaking recommendations to the South African Law Commission. I will be lobbying to change the law not just in South Africa but also internationally with relevant Conventions.
As I have been runing my own legal consulatancy, I am available immediately and willing to be relocated anywhere in the world.
In conclusion, I have been looking for dynamic company that will stimulate me on every level, and I do believe that I have found the company.
