I grew up in Gauteng but relocated to Kathu, Northern Cape in 1994. The following year, I ventured to Langebaan for work and was instantly captivated by its turquoise lagoon and Mediterranean-style architecture reminiscent of Greece. Club Mykonos epitomizes this aesthetic. At the time of my arrival, Langebaan was sparsely populated, with only a few restaurants, a Spar, and The Farmhouse. Pearly's on the beach was the most popular hangout spot. However, I have witnessed the town's remarkable growth over the years.

On the other side of Club Mykonos lies Paradise Beach, the town's best-kept secret. The estate on which it is located is a 450-hectare lifestyle estate with an 18-hole Gary Player design Black Night golf course. Known for its environmental consciousness and affordable living, the estate is adjacent to the West Coast National Park. In August, September, and October, Langebaan and its surroundings are a visual feast of blooming flowers. Once just a holiday destination, Langebaan has transformed into a bustling commercial hub, with more and more people moving there permanently.

It was in Kathu that I discovered my interest for property and started dabbling in the market. When I moved to Langebaan in 2001, I began my career in the estate agency business, initially in an administrative capacity. I am now excited to be back in sales and to share my enthusiasm for the industry and the town with clients. I take pride in being a dedicated and hardworking individual with a friendly personality. Meeting new people, many of whom become neighbours and friends, is one of the things I love most about my job.
