Hailing from Ngxokweni location in Ngqeleni in the Eastern Cape, Mr Mtimba comes from a large family of seven aunts, a grandmother and 14 grandchildren. He is a very family-orientated man, saying that ‘My family is my life and everything I do is to make them proud’.
Having attended high school at St Johns College in Mthatha, Mr Mtimba then moved to Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) to attend Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (now Nelson Mandela University). His time at university saw him graduate with a BCom Financial Planning degree in 2013, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning in 2014 and an MCom in Business Management in 2017. He is also currently pursuing his PhD in Business Management through our department.
Mr Mtimba joins us from FNB in Cape Town, where he was employed as a Private Banker since July 2019. In addition to this, he also boasts a vast wealth of industry experience, having worked in various positions (Enterprise Banker, Para-Planner and Financial Planner) for several industry-leading companies, such as ABSA, Old Mutual and Standard Bank.
Mr Mtimba is passionate about people. He believes that his commitment to deliver quality customer service will translate into his teaching methods, in order to build the next generation of financial planners that put people first. He also aspires to be a competitive professional with a quality education and aims to bring valuable advances and improvements to his chosen field and community.
We are excited to have Mr Mtimba on board and wish him well for his time with us in the Department of Business Management.
