Giving up a ten-year long career in investment banking is a decision that cannot be easy to take unless it’s driven by an overwhelmingly and fervent desire to be self-employed in a totally different field, such as working in mining and civil construction.

This is precisely what happened to Richy Sindane who, after spending a decade helping other people’s dreams come true, decided it was high time he did the same for himself. Armed with a post-graduate qualification in finance, banking and investment management, Richy set about creating his own business, Sindane Mining Ventures in Waterval Boven, the town of his birth.
