EXTRAMURAL ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS

Playing table-tennis, basketball and going to the gym are my ways of keeping fit whilst simultaneously relaxing my mind; it enhances my endurance and greatly improves my concentration.

Reading up on interesting finance phenomena such as FM Mail, Investors and newspapers to boost my knowledge on our ever-changing world as well as using computer software to solve real-life problems and tutoring others in their problematic areas more especially in Finance, Economics and Accounting.

The latter helps improve both my academic and communication skills immensely, thus I can express myself and my opinions and ideas more effectively as a result.

Reading about the financial market. Hopefully to be a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) in the future. Find stocks (JSE, NYSE and LSE) very interesting as well as Hedge Funds

Researching is also a hobby of mine as this improves my knowledge of an ever-changing world.

I have developed interest in application software (Apps) development and improvement where I hope to contribute to the ever-changing and digital world. EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
