Summary

Born and raised on the family farm, Farm Goedehoop, Lydenburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa. I worked on the farm from a very young age and was responsible for daily tasks on the farm such as milking cows, planting and harvesting crops on 420 ha of the farm and general farm work. I had to complete compulsory military service from 1981. Instead of joining the army I attended correctional services that were part of the government requirements at Kroonstad for 8 months.
