To be so determined to achieve your dreams is something I really admire, even when there are obstacles on the way.

Super Power Podcast- Season 1 Episode 1
Ayanda is a qualified CA(SA) with approximately ten years of experience in the Auditing and Finance field. She completed her BCom Accounting Honours at the University of Johannesburg in 2009, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 2012.
Ayanda began her career at Deloitte where she completed her articles and later became an Audit Manager. In 2015, Ayanda moved to Barloworld Equipment where she fulfilled the role of Financial Manager for just under three years. From thereon Ayanda was promoted to Country Financial Director of Barloworld Equipment in Botswana where she was responsible for the full financial function of the company and led the Finance team in Botswana. Most recently moved back to South Africa to join RS Components South Africa as Financial Director.
She is an extrovert with very high-energy levels. She believes every moment in her life is a gift worth celebrating. She spends most of her time with her family, she has two beautiful nieces who take up most of her time. She is a social runner and loves watching soccer. She is totally obsessed over fast cars.
I loved talking to Ayanda, so much that I had to break her interview into 2 parts. In this session, she discusses her background, and how she was able to deal with failure at school. She was able to conquer and achieve her goals, even if it took longer than anticipated. What she has taught me is that only YOU can decide when to stop, and if you have reason enough, you will be able to deal with whatever life deals you.
