Gugu Nxiweni – Top 40 Under 40

By

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).

Gugu Nxiweni (31), is a Director and Partner at KPMG.

Just 31, Nxiweni – a qualified Chartered Accountant – has always stood out from the crowd. Nxiweni, as the first African Partner of KPMG in the Eastern Cape, is currently driving key KPMG advisory initiatives, as well as supporting the company’s role in assisting government in Operation Clean Audit for the Eastern Cape.

His spare time is devoted to the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants’ transformation programmes, and, until recently, the part-time tutoring of students. “I find motivation in making a tangible difference to the lives of others,” says the proud Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana supporter, “being the best I can be, and recognizing the sacrifices made by my family and others to help me realize my dreams.”

Nxiweni is the former CEO of Emmanuel Haven, a project supporting those affected by HIV/Aids in the Motherwell community, and winner of a World Leadership Awards in Health.

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.
