If he is not taking a “sho’t Left” to explore the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape, Mavuso Shabalala could be found at the theatre watching the latest play. But the new SAIGA council member is not all about play and not work.
“Have you seen the latest play at the Joburg theatre?” Shabalala asks cheerfully.
“It’s Kunene and the King, performed by John Kani and Michael Richard. It’s riveting, you must go watch it.”
Shabalala, though, is quite adept at striking a balance between work and personal life, as he is with his daily work as an independent consultant at Eaglet Advisory and Consulting. After all, he has worked across 17 countries on the continent.
“I love travelling and exploring, like learning about my country and the continent,” says Shabalala.
His face lights up when he talks about the plans for his role as a council member.
“I want to contribute to the growth of SAIGA so that it can continue to play a significant role in ensuring accountability in government through public sector auditors, the RGAs, and build capacity within the public sector,” the 53-year-old says.
“I also want to help grow the PSAAA into a force to be reckoned with. There is a lot the Institute can offer to society.”
Shabalala, a father of two, holds an MBL degree and Global Remuneration Professional and has over 20 years of operational and strategic level experience as a Human Resource professional, which he obtained mainly in the financial services as an HR consultant.
