I am the co-founder and Managing Director of Menar, a South African mining company with an actively managed and growing portfolio of diversified minerals, which has controlling stakes in Canyon Coal, Zululand Anthracite Colliery, Kangra and East Manganese. I hold an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering with over 20 years of experience in the mining industry. During this period, I led the group’s subsidiaries from junior to mid-tier status through organic growth and acquisitions.

As a hands-on investor with a keen interest in bettering the South African economy, I am actively involved in seeking solutions to key issues faced by South Africa. I also serve on the board of the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT).
