Survey Statistician (Social Statistics) at Statistics South Africa (Stats SA), I had the privilege of working with the University of South Africa during the 2014 National and Local Government Elections as an Election Observer. I also had the honour of being in the first group of the YALI program held in November December 2015 by the USAID under the Public Governance Track.
Show profile Hide profileI believe that through the more than 10 years' experience of being in the public sector particularly that currently I am within the Social Statistics Division of Statistics South Africa as a Survey Statistician will add as an advantage. Through this I have to develop reports at the end of surveys, and prior any social surveys that we undertake, I am engaged at stakeholder consultation, doing research on what has to be added in new survey instruments, and also writing training manuals for survey officers/field workers. The monitoring and evaluation of data collected by survey officers is done on a continuation basis, which is vital for any data to be analysed and disseminated, which I am also involved.
I am currently doing my Honours degree in development studies at the University of Pretoria, my interest field of research is policy implementation, I am looking at failures and lack of policy implementation on how it affects a country negatively, particularly in the context of South Africa and Africa as a whole in tackling poverty, unemployment and inequality. I have a BA: Government, Administration & Development with UNISA, which I obtained 68% average. I'm also doing my second undergraduate degree at UNISA, which is Policy Studies.

Most importantly, I am a team player having acquired the ability to pay strong attention to detail. I possess both the confidence and skills required to represent my division and organisation when required. I would like to thank you for reviewing and considering my application, and look forward to having a successful interview with you soon.
