I am currently a lecturer in mathematics education at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (Wellington) near Cape Town. I work in the Education faculty and helps to train teachers to teach school mathematics in high schools. My special interest is topics in pure mathematics and trying to build conceptual links with topics in school mathematics. In this regard I engage with the topic of cryptology as one of the topics in pure mathematics. Born in Leightonville across the Buffalo River , I moved to Schornville where I stayed in Buffalo Road, the main road leading up to the town in Bisho and the townships Zwelistha and Breidbach in the metro council of Buffalo City
