What are your views on the 4th industrial revolution?
I see it as an adapt or sink. It is Africa’s chance to grow and be a tertiary benefactor of its mineral wealth. Institutions of higher learning has produced the required skills; it is time to hone and apply these skills.
And that it is a loss of individual privacy where one is private information is commoditised without our explicit consent.

If you were a precious metal what would you be and why?
Platinum. Not only is it versatile, precious and lustrous, it is noble and non-corrosive even under high pressure and temperatures.

How do you think industry bodies such as the SAIMM can better equip young professionals such as yourself?
By encouraging and providing a space conducive for novel and bold thinking, resources to act on the thoughts and a platform to account for the acts.

How do you see young professionals making a significant change in the industry?
By taking proactive roles of active participation, strategic leadership and enterprise.

What gets you up in the morning?
The fact that the world owes me nothing and it will handover nothing. If I want something, I must get up and go get it.
