The Top 40 under 40 is a showcase of local business talent under the age of 40 compiled by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC).
Ayanda Kheswa (26), is an Attorney at Joubert Galpin Searle.
During the week, you’ll find Ayanda Kheswa in the offices of Joubert Galpin Searle, a prominent firm of attorneys based in Nelson Mandela Bay, learning all she can in her quest to become a great commercial attorney.
Come weekends, Kheswa takes to the airwaves as a radio presenter on community station, Kingfisher FM, where she presents the Axxess DSL 6 to 9 show which focuses on current information, world news trends and the stories of great South Africans.
Kheswa has distinguished herself as a communicator, with numerous awards for oratory and a regular gig with local presenters-for-hire, Frankly Speaking.
“At present, I work as an attorney under the guiding hand and mentorship of a man I believe to be one of the greatest legal minds in South Africa, MC Botha,” says Kheswa, who is in the process of being registered as a liquidator with the Association of Insolvency Practitioners of Southern Africa. She will write her Notary and Conveyancing exams early next year, and has plans to top that off with an MBA.

The Top 40 Under 40 list, an NMBBC initiative, was compiled from nominations and selected by an independent panel at the NMBBC. The end result is a showcase of talented and ambitious young businesspeople from diverse sectors in Nelson Mandela Bay. From 7 December 2011, MyPE showcases one under 40 achiever a day.
