Bongani joined Mergence Investment Managers as Head of Institutional Sales in 2009. Prior to that he was at Sanlam where he fulfilled various roles in the consultants and actuaries division, was an institutional sales executive for an employee benefits division, and manager of the corporate social investment department and transformation.
Bongani was brought up in King William’s Town, in the Eastern Cape, with isiXhosa as his home language. He loved soccer as a child and he still occasionally plays over weekends with a group of friends. With an incredible network of business contacts and a busy travel schedule he finds he does not get to spend much time at home. When he does, he is busy as a pastor with his church and very involved in the development activities of his community. Bongani is a former President of a national non-profit organisation, The Seventh Day Adventist Students Association (SDASA).
