Meet the incredible people behind the work we do at C40 Cities
What motivated you to work in the climate space, and how did you become involved with C40?
My journey into the climate space began with a background in civil engineering, a field where climate considerations are peripheral but have a profound impact. Having experienced droughts and water shortages and working in areas devastated by cyclone Idai in 2019 sharpened my focus on environmental equality and climate resilience. Since then, I have channelled expertise towards water and sanitation, particularly in African communities that are more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. My transition to C40 in 2023 was driven by a desire to make a tangible difference, particularly in supporting African cities in water management and climate adaptation strategies.
What’s an accomplishment that you are proud of in your work with C40?
Since joining C40, my focus has been on elevating the importance of water management within the urban planning and resilience frameworks of African cities. The challenge of integrating climate-resilient water policies at a city level amidst broader continental and national dialogues has been a complex yet rewarding endeavour. I am particularly proud of the strides we’ve made in positioning water resilience as a critical agenda for city mayors, as evidenced by several African mayors endorsing C40’s recently launched Water Safe Cities Accelerator.
What upcoming initiatives is C40 working on that you are excited about?
I am looking forward to the forthcoming African Water Safe Cities Forum in Tshwane. This platform is particularly exciting as it represents a confluence of innovation, collaboration, and leadership in the water management sector. By introducing new water urban water management approaches and technologies to African city water leaders, the forum aims to spearhead transformative solutions and foster a community of practice that is sustainable and forward-thinking.
How do you balance your personal and professional life?
Living in Tshwane offers a unique blend of nature, adventure and cultures to explore. While there’s a lot more to discover, I am privileged to live near diverse spaces where I enjoy walks and hikes with my family. This not only provides a physical outlet, but also allows me to reconnect with my surroundings and recharge.
Once a year, the golf bug bites, seeking a few weeks of exploring courses in new corners of South Africa. The outdoors counterbalances professional demands, keeping me refreshed and inspired.
World Water Day is on 22 March; this year’s theme is “water for peace.” How do you believe water plays a role in fostering peace and resilience?
Water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change and rapid urbanisation, is a pressing challenge across Africa, often leading to heightened community tensions and protests over the resource’s allocation. Recently, we’ve also seen the increasing role of hydro-politics in fueling mass migration and international conflicts. Addressing water security through cooperative management can serve as a powerful vehicle for peace and resilience.
Initiatives aimed at improving water infrastructure mitigate conflict potential and enhance community well-being. By embracing inclusive and sustainable water management strategies, water is being transformed from a source of potential conflict into a foundation for cooperation and peace.

The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.
We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.
These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won’t be solved by science alone.
Our vision is a world where no one is held back by mental health problems. Our mission is a step change in early intervention for anxiety, depression and psychosis. To make this a reality, we fund the discovery and development of transformative interventions, from medicines and digital technologies to psychosocial supports, and work to ensure that the most promising innovations reach the people who need them most.
You will provide technical expertise to inform how the most promising innovations are adopted, scaled and sustained, with a particular focus on access in the UK and in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in Africa. By driving the pull-through from discovery to geographically equitable delivery, you will play a critical role in ensuring Wellcome’s investments translate into real-world impact for millions of people worldwide.

Working closely with colleagues across Wellcome and external partners, you will help align the critical pieces needed for successful implementation, including financing, supply, policy, and uptake pathways. By embedding access planning across the full lifecycle of product development, you will ensure that the most promising innovations are positioned to achieve real-world impact at scale
You will also contribute to shaping the vision and practice of market access within the Mental Health Programme, building approaches that integrate with wider work on health systems, financing and economic analysis. Beyond technical strategy, you will help strengthen internal processes, support key negotiations, and develop strategic partnerships that accelerate the adoption of mental health interventions in and low- and middle-income countries. In doing so, you will play a critical role in turning breakthrough science into sustainable solutions for communities most affected by mental health disorders.
