PURCO SA Profiles - Get to know them better | Pitso Mahlaole

1. What is a typical work day like?

However, typically I solve problems, guide the clients to achieve value for money and ensure that the policies and procedures of the University, as well as relevant laws and regulations, are properly implemented and adhered to at all times."

2. Favourite memory from growing up?

"There are so many fond childhood memories to choose from, but my favourite would be when my friends accompanied me to school on my first day at high school and pretended to my dad and big brother “wow the principal was so confused”
