Sandi Maqoqa
Sandi Maqoqa (also known as Faith) discovered a gap in the market & society where business owners do not spare time to meet their potential clients in a form of networking. She registered the company name in 2009. Although her idea of helping people to meet & share knowledge dates back more than 10 years, the first official event was only held in 2008.
Initially this was based on voluntary work with great focus on government schools that are less privileged to have career guidance & other tools to equip their learners/educators to make right decisions in making career choices. Sandi's role then was to visit such township based schools during Matric Ball functions or gatherings & motivate not only learners but educators & stakeholders. Most schools visited so far are based in Cape Town. Sandi has a great passion in working with dedicated communities as well as sharing knowledge with people from diverse backgrounds.
Her passion for community work extends to her voluntary role as the Board member of Sandton Community Policing Forum as a Youth Desk Coordinator since 2011. She has initiated various community projects in Tembisa and Alexandra Townships as well as continuously supporting Mirriam Makeba and New Jerusalem Children's homes based in Midrand.
Sandi's career achievements include:
BSc Computer Science (UWC),
BCom Hons -Business Mgmt & Administration (UWC),
Post Grad Diploma-Diversity Mgmt (WITS);
Accredited Compliance Lead Auditor (ISO Standards) (QSI)
Sandi has worked at various recognized companies such as:

She is an accredited QMS facilitator & QMS Lead Compliance Auditor. Her dream is to complete her MBA one day of which she has completed a few modules from CPUT in Cape Town. She is also a co-owner of MasMaq Pty (Ltd) which focuses on professional services skills. MasMaq was derived from two surnames of the shareholders (Masisi & Maqoqa) as well as the services of MAnaging Safety & MAnaging Quality on all kinds of projects.
