My job: I’m a qualified minister in the Dutch Reformed Church where I work part time. Full-time I work as a marketer and logistics coordinator within the fresh produce industry. We also export fruit to Europe, including avocados.
My South Africa: For the past five years we’ve been living in Mooketsi, Limpopo province. Interesting fact: in Limpopo less than 3 % of the population is of European descent. We live on a farm with open spaces and freedom, and we love to cycle and walk every day after work with the dogs. Life is exciting and diverse with daily surprises.
My Switzerland: We lived in Switzerland when I was 7–9 years old. We also visited in 2008 and again in 2018. It is very organised, clean, wealthy, respects tradition and is a leader in innovation and technology. I like the organised lifestyle, public transport, drinkable water almost anywhere, its rich history and its bright and secure future.
My heart: Being Swiss is an essential part of my identity, of how I see and understand myself, my parents and siblings. I’m very interested in many aspects of the country and read up a lot on a weekly basis – and the more I read, the more I love Switzerland.
