Been in exporting for 30 years or so and then decided to start a small business producing Traditional Natural African Herbal tonics for the township markets. Never have had such a ball in all my life.
Show profile Hide profileBorn SA grew up in the UK came back to RSA when I was 11. Spent my schooling in Boarding School which I really enjoyed and hated school with a passion. Spent a few years in the military jumping out of planes and running away. Played 3 seasons of rugby league in Aussie and then came back here and went into marketing and exporting. Travelled to a lot of places in the world and exported and traded in some amazing products. Mostly in Africa but later on spent 4 years in NYC trading in Ostrich skins and products and then did some scary stuff with diamonds, and after surving a few coups in Africa, decided to start producing top quality herbal products. Then moved more into traditional healing types of goods and today- have a small business in Cape Town supplying these products to the Townships throughout SA, and into one neighbouring country. Have no amazing philosophies for life other than one should end off every day with a single glass of the best quality Single Malt whisky you can afford!
