Themba Mazibuko

I have formerly been a Financial Director, and ultimately a Chief Executive Officer for Santaco Trading (Pty) Ltd T/A Taxichoice, which makes me a seasoned candidate to craft and execute the organizational strategy with an objective to achieve healthy bottom line by generating revenue through new business development and partnerships. I served as a Board Member for Strategic Partners Group and Off The Shelf Investment 68 (Pty) LTD since 2013 to date. I have worked as a Financial Accountant for Manase and Associates, where I acquired sound financial experience.

Having worked for Pytron Limited as a Consultant broadened my capabilities to consider and analyse business circumstances through a lense of efficiency and effectiveness. I have overall 29 years extensive experience working in various managerial roles of which most were at a senior managerial strategic level. I hold a Master of Business Administration degree among other qualifications.

I have both local and international exposure in executing business strategy.
