Mandhla Dhlodhlo

General Manger
Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO)

We would like to introduce to you and for you to get to know Mandhla, one of our Trustees, a little bit more.

Mandhla currently resides in Zimbabwe, where he is married to his beautiful wife, with whom he has three children with. He absolutely loves fishing, watching American Sports, playing golf, and reading western novels.

Mandhla has been a pilot and production engineer for 26 years now, and is currently the General Manger at a Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO) in Zimbabwe. He became part of the Catalyst Foundation, as aTrustee in 2019, and was involved in the committee that set up the S.H.E (Secure, Hope, Empowered) Programme, which commenced in 2021 in Zimbabwe.

We asked Mandhla to share with us more information about why he decided to become a Trustee, and his experiences so far as part of the Catalyst Foundation:

“I decided to accept the opportunity of becoming a Trustee, because I believed, and still believe in the vision of the Catalyst Foundation. I love how holistic the support offered to the beneficiaries who are part of the S.H.E Programme is, and seeing the impact created so far in their lives has been rewarding. Visiting the beneficiaries in Beatrice and Tsholotsho in Zimbabwe brings immense joy to me, as they are always extremely happy and they have great hope for their futures. 

To our beneficiaries, keep the hope alive – the sky is the limit!”
