the telecommunications company, Vodacom, who also took him in for his year

of in-service training. What was meant to be a one-year training turned into

a permanent job in the space of just three weeks. Maxwell’s work ethic and

dedication impressed his supervisor so much that he gave him a permanent

job with full benefits even before he finished his diploma.

Maxwell graduated in 1999 and spent just eighteen months with Vodacom

before joining another telecommunication company where he was based in

Tanzania and spent three years building telephone networks. He later moved to

Mozambique to join a team to build and set up communication networks there.

When we talk of big dreamers, Maxwell comes to mind. He has built a very

colourful career in the telecommunications industry, starting at the bottom

as a trainee and working his way up to executive level. Amongst his big

achievements is being promoted three times in a space of three years, and

working as an executive to a team of over 400 employees. Another milestone

was leading the 2010 World Cup broadcast programme.

Maxwell is a world-class executive with a global business view. He has chosen

to work hard and be hands-on in all aspects of his work. In 2018 Maxwell

left the corporate sector to work on a long-term project in the medical field

with an American partner. His early dream of ensuring that people are equally

connected and entertained has been realised through his many years in the

telecommunications and information technology sector.
