Wesley Koekemoer

Interesting Fact:
I am very “old school” but still 3-and-a-half (at heart) and will always have a fun fact of the day for you.

I was born and raised on a farm in Geluksburg, a small village in the Drakensberg mountains. Spent most of my days with my sister at the river, in the mountains with our dogs or riding the town flat with our bicycles. From standard 2 (Grade 4) to matric I was in hostel where I used all my free time playing every sport I could take part in. This included the less conventual sport like lawn bowls to the more popular sports like cricket, athletics, and rugby. After school I worked for two years as a photographic and video graphic technician at FotoFirst before beginning my journey towards becoming a Biokineticist at various institutes of higher education. Since qualifying I have been in practice along the garden route.
