WELCOME

Welcome to my website. I’m a South African political economist, policy & risk analyst, essayist, theorist & youth leader. My work moves between political economy, development, global governance, and the role of young Africans in influencing the continent’s future. On this site, you’ll find my writings, thought pieces, public engagements, and initiatives. You can also sign up for my newsletter, connect with me directly, or explore my projects.

EXPLORE

Explore my initiatives — from co-founding the African Minds for Applied Research Institute (AMARI), the Founders Accourd, and the private investment company Imvula Investment Group, to leading research and editing at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), and serving as Gauteng Director & Chief Executive of Advocacy & Partnerships at Project Youth South Africa (PYSA). Together, these spaces form an ecosystem where thought meets action, and where ideas are not just debated but developed into tangible contributions toward Africa’s future.

The Praxis Letter

The Praxis Letter is my collection of essays where philosophical inquiry meets urgent political realities. Through a Pan-Africanist lens, I examine political economy, sovereignty, youth agency, and moral responsibility, treating the platform as a space to test ideas against history and lived experience. Each piece aims to turn thought into action and challenge readers to engage critically with the forces shaping Africa’s present and future.
