Lisa Duarte
Director, Region of Peel
Zaheera is an extremely accomplished financial and leadership professional who has shown a broad array of skills. Zaheera has excelled, due to her superior financial and accounting knowledge, in very disparate jobs requiring very strong analytical skills. Zaheera, owing to her proficiency in communication and leadership skills was able to assume leadership roles far above what was normal responsibility for her age. She was able to communicate clearly yet concisely with senior management, providing a solid logical base for her recommendations, even when those recommendations were different from conventional wisdom. She was practically always correct in her novel recommendations, primarily due to her very objective critical thinking skills. Zaheera was timely and solutions oriented and a team player in her work.

Elize Hatting
Client Focused on Circular Economy
Zaheera advised in the set-up of the Delivery Support Unit (DSU) in the Western Cape Government in 2015, and we have maintained a knowledge exchange ever since. She brings insightfulness and clarity to the complex challenges of improving delivery within the public sector. She is always frank about the problems and supportive in crafting solutions. As the head of the DSU, I found her advice and support invaluable, as she provided international expertise and local knowledge of the complexities of current day South Africa. She has a high level of commitment to improving the lives of people through her expertise in public sector delivery.

Zaheera is able to get things done while supporting the development of others around her – admirable qualities that I aspire to.
