What is the best advice a colleague or manager gave you?
What is your advice for someone who wants to follow in your footsteps? Obtain qualifications and knowledge in the field you want to pursue, work smart, be hungry to learn, be passionate, stay humble and respectful. Always know, whatever you put in, is exactly what you will get out, irrespective of the timeframe.
Matie Boonzaaier, Supply Chain Manager at Breede Valley Municipality, once said to me: “Always remember that you are working with the public’s money. Spend it wisely. Think of the elderly (pensioner) paying rates and taxes whenever you spend government funds, and always do the right thing.”
Lizane Nkoko, Drakenstein Municipality’s Senior Accountant: Logistics and Disposals, says there is never a dull moment in her job.
