With Youth Month coming to an end, the South African Breweries (SAB) is making one final call for entries by aspiring young participants to join the DynamX Trainee Programme.

Khensani Mahlabane

Khensani started with AB In-Bev in 2020 as a business improvement trainee and since then, she has worked across numerous roles and is now a Banking Analyst in the Treasury, Cash Management and Banking Team, where she has been recognised as a top performer. ?She says, “I see myself as well-rounded, vibrant, observant, and highly detailed individual who always seeks to learn beyond set boundaries. My areas of interest range from accounting, governance, risk management, corporate continuous improvement, corporate strategy, stakeholder education, and stakeholder engagement. ?My working environment offers me opportunities to learn and grown from practically anyone in practically any space, and this, coupled with the accessibility to knowledge makes SAB the best place to work.”

Kabelo Mogotsi

Kabelo is a young and dynamic Talent Specialist with over three years of Human Resources experience in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry. He says, “I love seeing my work come to life. I am responsible for maximizing the potential of talent in our business through our various processes. I ensure we have the talent pools needed and the development path for the individuals who sit within these pools. This Youth Month I would like to inspire other young people not to quit when the going gets tough, and to keep your head high and forge ahead. Find someone that offers you a psychologically safe space to be yourself and talk about anything.”

Nilan Gounden

Nilan works as a Revenue Management Specialist for South Africa in the Commercial team of PPM Sales & Revenue. His specialty is managing and analysing SAB’s business discounts and pricing landscape to identify strategic opportunities to optimise revenue growth. He says, “SAB has inspired me to be resilient in the face of adversity, celebrate the small wins and look forward to a future with more cheers. I am a big believer that exceptional leaders inspire purpose and drive ambition, as Steve Jobs once said, ‘Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.’ I’m fortunate to work with a team of people who are among the most passionate young people I’ve met who have come from humble beginnings to become exceptional leaders that inspire purpose and drive ambition.”

Katlego Modika

Katlego works as a Product Specialist – Planning Applications. She is responsible for implementing transformative technologies and ensuring the development of technology products resonate with SAB customers, while simultaneously adding value to the business and logistics planning. She says, “One of my career highlights was being a part of the successful launch of BEES (a SAB B2B ordering App) in Uganda. As a trainee, I was entrusted with the opportunity to spearhead the sales transformation in Uganda, which involved implementing the platform BEES. I look forward to doing what it takes to succeed as a young, Black female in an industry that is traditionally male dominated (beer and technology), and I see my high level of adaptability and convergent thinking as my greatest assets.”
