Team: Team 1

I started my journey in the veterinary world in 1999.  My passion for animals has led me to work in welfare practices, private practices, with exotics and in very mixed practices in rural areas.

At home I have two dogs and a cat, and I enjoy both playing and coaching soccer.

I live in Cape Town with my wife and two daughters, one of whom is in nursing college, and one is in high school. I hope to continue working in the animal world for many years.

My name is Khaya. I’m a quiet individual who loves animals. I’m a creative type who enjoys cooking new meals and experimenting with different flavours. I’ve just discovered a new passion: longboarding. I love rapping and I’m a huge hip-hop fan. I own 3 crossbreed dogs (2 of which I adopted) and one cat.

I started working at Durbanville Animal Hospital in 2016 after years of working in pet shops. I have 2 beautiful dogs, Nompriechie and Sheba, and am adored by the cats in my neighbourhood.
