At our 30th school reunion an idea to do a “BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS “ goal was born! Not too sure how we ended up deciding but the Ironman event on 3 June 2018 was chosen. 1,9km swim in the ocean 90km ride 21,5 km run 70.3 miles in total , one after the other ! Well long story short , we did it ! 4 did the individual event and 3 entered as a team . What an incredible day it was , the human spirit just incredible and the personal goals achieved-just remarkable. Thanks to all that...
No!
We often forget that we can actually say NO. I often hear people moaning about this and that and how they HAVE to go somewhere or do something that they are not particularly excited about . Every decision that we make has a resultant consequence . It is up to each of us to decide which actions are to our benifit and which are to our detriment . Only you can decide and only you will need to account for the decision you make! We use the information we have at our disposal to best mitigate the outcome and can’t...
Malicious web article
The wonders of the web can only be outweighed by the damage that it can do . I have recently been expanding my portfolio and in that process recieved some strange questions during interviews about ethics and morals? While I am comfortable that I managed to deal with the questions effectively I couldn’t help to understand what had triggered them, so I asked and the answer was amazing. In 2010 ,a women wrote a blog which was less than flattering about me and most importantly the facts untrue (a testimony by the numerous reference letters received post 2010 for my...
25 000 km – 1 year
1 year ago I decided to do something I had always dreamed about but never persued primarily due to issues that “other people ” for a variety of valid reasons had ! In June 2016 a number of life’s little messages came my way and made it clear to me that it was important for one to follow your heart and having no regrets for who you are and what you really want . To those who understood, thank you . To those who made it unpleasant, I know it was for good intentions! I LOVED IT! The bike where...
Redeployment within the Royal Bafokeng Nation
I came to the Royal Bafokeng 4 years ago and am very proud of what we have achieved during this time in reaching our mandate for both the nation as www.royalbafokengtourism.com which was focused both on presentation and sustainability of the tourism assets under its control and personally with these amazing people. I have been fortunate through my hospitality experience to have learnt and embraced a variety of skills and knowledge of many industries and technologies. As a result of that I have been redeployed by Kgosi (King) within the group to spearhead innovation projects that will assist the Nation...

My Father
What words could ever describe a man that has given up everything for his family, who has taught us all the importance of family and always put us first. A man that has worked tirelessly to elevate the family’s stature and made sure the Dungan name is linked to success , integrity and positive contributions to the world! Whatever you do , do well! Carte Blanche to be whatever you want just be great at it! Could be prophetic or great planning but all things always work out for a reason . Trust the universe and live everyday as if...
