BIOGRAPHY
As Project Quality Assurance Engineer, during the construction of a number of coal-driven power stations in South Africa, Peter was exposed to most trades and professions while developing quality procedures used in the construction process.

The vision he had of "connecting" Africa, led to the 'birth' of Info Africa in 1992.

After establishing this concept, Peter was once again exposed to empowering and capacitating of our people, as a consultant for the then Northern Province Department of Housing (South Africa), preparing quality procedures for low-cost housing. His passion to address sustainable development needs in Africa became an obsession.

Peter, in his then capacity as a business consultant, assisted emerging PDI's (Previously Disadvantaged Individuals) with realisation of their vision and the establishment of these PDI's in business. He successfully completed a course at the CSIR - Pretoria and holds a title as an accredited assessor for the South African Business Excellence Foundation. This knowledge he now shares with others.

He was an active participant to the Advisory Board for the OECD-NEPAD - Africa Investment Initiative for Growth and Development, where he endeavored to contribute on behalf of the People of Africa.

In 2003 Peter received an award from the Minister of Social Development South Africa, Dr. Zola Skweyiya, for his contribution towards Corporate Social Investment.

Peter’s expertise has made him a well-known personality in Africa. His numerous television, radio and print media interviews and the number of high level conferences and events he has addressed, testifies to the respect he commands in the field of Africa affairs.
