About

I am an International ATLS Trauma Instructor, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons / FACS and Master of Laparoscopic/ Keyhole Surgery through IRCAD/EITS Strasbourg, France. I obtained a Diploma in Anaesthesia from The College of Medicine South Africa. I am a Bonsmara cattle farmer and, since the year 2000, have been well known in the Bonsmara Cattle Breeders Association. Karmel Bonsmaras previously stemmed from my interest in the cattle Industry. I was a finalist for the Climate Ambassador Farmer of the Year in 2026. I am interested in general surgery and related medico-legal and expert witness work. My experience as a proficient and seasoned general surgeon and traumatologist with more than 22 years in private practice contributes to my expertise. During this period, I acquired numerous additional national and internationally endorsed qualifications. I am compliant with HPCSA requirements and qualified as a mediator through MPA and passed the SAMLA Foundation Course in 2025 with distinction. During my tenure as a surgeon, I rendered additional surgical services in person to numerous rural communities and patients in the Northern Cape, Northwest Province and Greater Karoo. I am committed to exceptional patient and client care. I passed the SAMLA Foundation Course in 2025 Cum Laude. I qualified as a mediator through MPA in 2025.

Approach

My approach is calm, structured and impartial. In situations involving high conflict or power imbalance, I focus first on creating a safe and respectful process where each party has a fair opportunity to be heard. I use clear ground rules, careful listening and private sessions where appropriate, to reduce tension and ensure that no party feels intimidated or overpowered. My background in surgery and trauma care has trained me to remain composed under pressure, assess complex situations objectively and guide people through highly stressful circumstances with clarity and respect. I aim to balance participation, manage emotions constructively and help parties move from fixed positions toward practical, workable solutions
