After graduating with honours from Wits university with a degree in Dramatic Art, Dave worked as an actor for CAPAB before moving on to the SABC where he became a specialist television producer responsible for two of the biggest live magazine programmes ever broadcast in South Africa - "Prime Time" and "Sundowner". He also worked as a DJ for Radio 5 and presented various TV programmes between 1982 and 1992. Having moved back to his roots in the Rorke's Drift area of KwaZulu Natal, Dave built a lodge and now spends his time sharing his passion for the history and culture of the Zulu people. His multi-media presentations bring to the business world the dramatic and moving stories from the battlefields of the Anglo-Zulu War and the lessons that were learned which are so applicable in today's battles, not only in the boardrooms and workplaces of South Africa, but also across the often ambush-laden terrains of the world's business fields. Dave is also a wonderful raconteur, relating some of the truly wondrous stories of Herman Charles Bosman and to complete the entertainment package, his guitar and fine vocals have been the core of many memorable evenings abound the campfire.
