About

I am a research fellow at the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) of the University of South Africa (UNISA), South Africa. I have served on the early career network of Future Earth, as well as the knowledge action networks on sustainable consumption and production as well as the food-water-energy nexus. Sustainability is a passion and research interest hence my being on the YSI sustainability working group. I believe education is an instrument for facilitating sustainability. I have hence served on the course quality advisory board of the ERASMUS Mundus Students and alumni. I also serve on the advisory board of the joint African Union (AU) and European Union (EU) Harmonisation of African Higher Education, Quality Assurance and Accreditation (HAQAA) initiative. I am involved in a number of community engagement activities. I am a founding member of Green Cheque Eco-social and the Inala Food Sovereignty and Climate Justice Forum at the University of the Witwaterstrand where I completed his doctoral studies and co-manages a community food garden. I have previously served as deputy of the South African Adaptation Network. His hobbies include cycling, swimming, jogging, writing and music. His research interests include sustainability, food security, climate adaptation, indigenous knowledge systems, and environmental governance.
