Bio
I am the C.E.O. of Victory Over Disability Homes (Reg 125-019 N.P.O.) at website www.victoryhomes.co.za I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans, and can easily translate from English UK & US to Afrikaans, and Afrikaans to English UK & US. I have a National Senior Certificate in both languages.

My motivation for offering my professional service is simple. I am the founder of Victory Over Disability Homes, a registered Non Profit Organisation in South Africa. By making use of my professional services, I will donate 100% of your payment as a donation to our "Home" by asking you to make payment, as a donation from you, directly into the Organisations account. By making use of my professional services, you will be contributing to the rehabilitation of people with physical disabilities, the poorest of the poor, and others most in need.

I have an impressive employment history, from my current position of C.E.O., to Director of Operations for Ukhethsa Security, Presidential Cleaning, Cape Town, Ukhetsha Security Training College, Khayelitsha, and the Super Eaglets United Football Club, Cape Town, Collectively.

(Awarded for Commitment to Excellence), by the Southern Sun Group (Hotels, Inns and Resorts)

To keep a long story short, I also worked for De beers Industrial Diamond (D.R.L) Diamond Research Laboratories, thus having both in depth research, industrial processing, plants, machinery, mining process experience and diamond extraction process.

I joined the South African Police from age 15 (no, 15 wasn't quite legal, I had to be 16, but was accepted) I started in the police, whilst completing my National Senior Certificate (Matriculated). A work history of 30 years.

I hold a Diploma in Criminal Law A & B, Police Administration, Investigation of Crime, Criminal Law and Procedure, Criminal Procedure Act. South African Police (Awarded the South African Police 75th yr Commemorative Medal, for Service and Bravery) Risk Management, (Goldfields of S.A.) I am qualified in South African Labour Law through the University of Kwa Zulu Natal (Howard College, School of Law)

In addition to this I have another 50 certificates and qualifications in the Legal , Medical, Executive Management, Industrial Relations, Security and other or related fields.

Why am I doing this. Simply, I suffer from a progressive disability, and am semi retired. It is my intention, and that of our Organisation to continue providing the best of help & hope to people with physical disabilities. By using my professional services, you contribute to helping us achieve this, and further to achieve our "World Class" Vision, Mission and Values.

You will also be opening doors to more people with physical disabilities (PWD), to offer their professional services as translators, in many other languages. South Africa is a very diverse country with eleven official languages, and many more unofficial languages. This makes supporting our efforts, a unique opportunity for you, to get the best professional service you need, and support, and open doors for people with physical disabilities, for potential employment, part, and full time.

If you are seeking a professional, can see the wood for the trees, and wish to contribute to a very worthy cause, whilst benefiting at the same time, this is an attractive, and rewarding opportunity for you.

I look forward to being of service to you.
