Biography
I am passionate about governance as it touches each every one of us in our daily lives. Government at all levels is at the forefront of governance. Good and impactful governance is rather important. That is why I studied my MA in public administration and a PhD in public policy. I have also been teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students for a number of years. In addition, I have been training public sector officials at all levels. More importantly, I endeavour to conduct impactful research that I can incorporate into my teaching, supervision and training.

My research interest areas are immigration policy, local government and good governance. The rich experience and insight of the public sector gained from training public officials also comes handy in research, supervision and teaching. I am enthused to work in such a dynamic environment and bring a meaningful change in people, systems and organisations.
