Vision for Wind power in South Africa: 

My vision is for wind energy to be positioned as central to South Africa’s economic resilience, supported by regulatory certainty, grid investment, and deliberate localisation that creates sustainable jobs. We have an exceptional wind resource; the opportunity now is to align policy, capital and governance to harness it strategically and at scale. 

What makes SAWEA relevant? 

SAWEA remains relevant because it is both the industry’s leading advocate and a steward of its credibility, shaping policy dialogue and strengthening institutional trust. As the sector matures, its role in disciplined governance, strategic positioning and responsible industry representation becomes even more crucial.

Why would you encourage someone to become a member? 

Strong industry bodies do not exist in isolation; they are sustained by the active participation and support of their members. I would encourage organisations and individuals to become members because collective stewardship strengthens the legitimacy and impact of the Association’s work.

Employment / Company / Designation: 

Enel Green Power South Africa, Head of Communications and Institutional Affairs

Years of experience in energy or related sectors: 

9 years 

Role within the industry: 

My career sits at the intersection of energy, strategy and communication, and I believe that how we position, govern and explain this industry will shape what it ultimately becomes. As a young African woman in the sector, I am deliberate about advancing inclusive leadership and responsible custodianship, because credibility, representation and disciplined oversight are as critical to our future as the projects we build.
