Researcher

Convicted Student (Criminal)
University of Life AKA Department of Corrections
1996 - 2004
South Africa
Founded quilty and being convicted for theft, fraud and murder was certainly the turning point in my life.
Spending many lonely hours in solitary confinement made me realized that every thought and/or action has consequences, and will not only affect the present but also predict my future.
Through these dark and lonely years of my life, I've been cultivating the virtues I need to be the person God wants me to be.
I've been "Finding, Creating & Living the Real Me," by using my time, which was short, restricted and borrowed to me, to do and learn the right things in life.
Most importantly, during these dark years of my life, I not only found God, I found myself
Doesn't matter where I was, I have to respect myself, exercise my faith and dedicate myself to serve people with my spiritual gifts. (1 Pet 4:10)
I realised that the meaning of my life was to discover my purpose, and the purpose of my live, was to give it away.
I committed myself to God, and dedicate my future working to cultivate the gift knowledge in people. (Hos 4:6 - "My people perish for lack of knowledge...")
Independent Entrepreneur
Self Employed
1992 - 1996
Pretoria Region
Being a sales representative for multiple brands, I've learned the skills on how to work under pressure and meet deadlines. I've also learned the shortcuts in life to make money, and lots of it.
Choosing this route, only put me in trouble with people and the law. I've got my fingers burnt, and put the blame on everybody except on myself.
This results into what I would like to call the next phase of my journey through life.
The phase called: 'Convicted Student.'

Homeless
December , 2004 - November , 2005
I was arrested and locked up while waiting for a formal bail hearing. Horrible things happened to me, that are too sensitive to talk about.
I was released on bail. During this time I was living on the streets of Soweto, Johannesburg looking for employment, begging for food and was declared an official homeless person, by Home Affairs.
Hussle everyday without knowing what will happen the following day. But, what keeps me going was the fact that I never lost my hope for a better future.
Jer 29:11 - " For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans that wil not hurt or harm you, but plans that will prosper, that will give you hope and a future."
