I was born in Port Elizabeth, Republic of South Africa, on 27 July 1940 and was educated at Sydenham Primary School and Victoria Park High in Port Elizabeth. After high school, I joined the South African Railways as a fireman and remained in the service for five years until immigrating to Northern Rhodesia, now known as Zambia. I managed a scrap metal business in the town of Mufulira on the Congo border for two years and then returned to South Africa, where I started my career in power generation. My career in power generation spanned forty-five years, and I worked up through the ranks to the position of senior shift supervisor in five different power stations, fossil-fired, pumped-storage, hydroelectric, and open-cycle gas turbine stations. I was married in 1965 and was blessed with four children, three daughters and a son.
I retired in 2009 at the age of sixty-nine.view less
