Message

At Ehlanzeni District Municipality, I coordinate enterprise risk management across 8 departments and facilitate 20–30 risk assessments annually. I maintain the risk management framework, fraud prevention strategy, and risk registers in line with ISO 31000, COSO, King IV, and MFMA.

I present quarterly risk, fraud, and governance reports to executive and oversight structures, and coordinate combined assurance with Internal Audit, Legal Services, Compliance, and external providers. I’ve also trained 200+ municipal staff through virtual and in-person risk awareness workshops.

At Ehlanzeni TVET College, I built the institution’s ERM framework from the ground up, including its policy, methodology, risk register, and fraud prevention strategy. As Internal Auditor: Forensic Investigations at the Department of Health, I conducted forensic audits and investigations and prepared reports with recommendations for legal action.

Currently, as a part-time, remote AI Training Contributor with Mercor, I design professional computer tasks for AI model training and record step-by-step workflow demonstrations. I draw on my risk, audit, and compliance experience to create realistic scenarios and supporting documentation.
