Wendy Shabangu

Someone once said that it is the journey that teaches you a lot about the destination. When I embarked on this road of serving people and being in a sales environment for 19 years, I could not have imagined the outcome.

I remember my first job as a canvasser convincing potential customer to walk inside the store and open accounts. That was the beginning of my retail journey. I am grateful to have been working in different industries such as the telecommunication, building and decor. In all my working experiences I have learned about the power of communication in business.

I enrolled with Damelin and University of Pretoria later, studying Business management which gave me an insight into how business is viewed holistically. It equipped me with new skills from finance, HR, leadership, marketing, operation, and strategy.

I have newfound confidence in understanding how value is created in customer relationship. From a canvasser, to a salesperson, to managing 22 stores and for some time now, many people have been singing me one song since 2021 “why don’t you join property business?” Oh well, “my plane has just landed at PGP."

I consider myself as someone who’s highly motivated and enthusiastic about life, thriving every day to serve and be a better human being by making a difference in people’s lives in helping them to find a solution. I live by two words "tenacity" and "gratitude". Live running , hiking and basketball.
