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 help 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 in King Williams Town , 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.
After completion of primary school, I moved to John Bisseker high school where I
completed matric in 1974. From there I pursued my studies at the University of the
Western Cape.
