Tabea Kabinde

Managing director khulisane academy
Over the years, I have found myself either through my studies or my career gravitating to the Transformation Agenda, especially within the context of South Africa. It is a topic closest to my heart. I have been in organisations where I either was challenged by lack of inclusivity or where I was blessed with an opportunity to create a diverse and inclusive culture for my staff and colleagues. My career in the Recruitment Industry also created opportunities for me to advance transformation, especially with my initial involvement with APSO, where I started as the Transformation Champion. It has been challenges but has given me much joy. 

Take your career and expertise to the
next level!
