The Rising Star Programme, operated by BlackBark Productions, has been established for the purposes of recognising, celebrating and connecting young talented people who have a capacity for achievement and success and who contribute in an inspirational manner to the future of our nation. The qualities that elevate Rising Stars to the top go beyond performance and technical excellence. Rising Stars are polished, brilliant individuals with tremendous promise and great talent who excel for reasons that go far beyond their technical abilities alone.

Talented people make things happen, are highly committed to achieving goals, innovate very rapidly, and create a great deal of value (for companies and/or themselves) when their talent is spotted and harnessed.

The Programme aims to be a significant and sustainable vehicle through which organisations, our country and our continent can identify and nurture these “organisational and national assets” who are set to play a key role in shaping the future of our country and our continent.

The Rising Star Programme is establishing a living community of young African talent that will be developed, mentored and provided with platforms for development and communication, therefore enabling them to become role models, opinion leaders and the inspiration for other future African Talent.

Please provide examples of how you have shown responsible engagement in your career (Approx 100-300 words)
I have demonstrated responsible engagement throughout my career by consistently grounding my work in integrity, collaboration, and a deep respect for the people affected by my decisions. Alongside my corporate role, I regularly advise NGOs and early-stage technology startups, helping them navigate legal, governance, and ethical challenges in a way that balances compliance with sustainability and social impact. I am particularly mindful of confidentiality, transparency, and power dynamics when working with resource-constrained organisations, ensuring advice is practical, ethical, and empowering rather than extractive. For the past five years, I have served as the lead attorney for the Students for Social Justice UCT Legal Clinics. In this role, I work closely with student volunteers and community members, fostering psychological safety, mentorship, and shared accountability while delivering responsible legal support to vulnerable clients. I have continued this work even after transitioning out of a formal legal role, reflecting my long-term commitment to service and ethical responsibility. Across all my roles, I collaborate across disciplines and sectors, build trusted networks, and engage stakeholders with empathy and humility. My approach to leadership emphasises inclusion, wellbeing, and collective problem-solving to create outcomes that are both effective and socially responsible.
