On my return I worked as a maintenance Electrician. I then qualified as an Air conditioning and Refrigeration Technician. I was then promoted to Technical Supervisor Air conditioning and Refrigeration and Electrical, managing 30 staff which serviced 141 Siveright Street (Transnet’s main Data Centre) amongst various others.
