“My aim is to motivate all the people of Africa, and create awareness of the greatness and the ability of us, the South African nation, as individuals and as teams to appreciate and realise, how we can prosper and impact the world, and Banxso will offer me a platform to do so. This partnership also creates an opportunity for me to start my online trading journey with Banxso and I am eager to be guided and learn from their trusted and experienced team, the very same way I have relied on the trusted and experienced advice of my coaches in pursuing my sporting career."
