Lawrence Bhekuyise Mjadu, popularly known as Bheki to his colleagues and friends, joined Harcourts Zululand in November 2017. Before joining Harcourts Zululand, he was with Sotheby’s Realty Zululand, a company he joined in August 2016 after leaving Rawson Properties. He joined Rawson Properties in December 2014.
Before becoming an intern estate agent, Bheki had worked for the public sector where he worked for various government departments. He spent 25 years in the public sector where he acquired valuable experience especially in management. Before his departure from the public sector, Bheki had occupied different managerial positions. He left the public sector at the end of August 2012. His last position he held was with the KwaZulu-Natal Gaming and Betting Board where he was Manager: Communication Services. The Board reported directly to the Office of the Premier in Pietermaritzburg. During his time at the Board and other government departments, Bheki attended many self-development courses that included, among others, situational leadership, management skills programmes, computer skills, communication and writing skills, strategic management skills and interviewing techniques.
Bheki has attended many tertiary institutions where he obtained qualifications relevant to the positions he held within the public sector. In 1992 he obtained a National Diploma in Government Finance from Mangosuthu University of Technology, followed by a bachelor’s degree in theology from Unisa in 2001 and Specialist Human Resource Management Programme from DUT in 2008. He then enrolled for a bachelor’s technology degree in management which he obtained in 2012 from DUT. This degree is completed concurrently with Advanced Business Programme (ABP).
Bheki has completed the course work for the master’s degree in public administration that he hopes to complete before the end of 2019. In 2000 Bheki was ordained as the minister of religion in the Lutheran Church and is practising as a priest or minister to Lutheran Congregations around Empangeni. In 2001 he qualified as marriage officer and is certified as such by the Department of Home Affairs.
