My name is Annelize. I was born on the 21st of October 1975. I grew up in Mayfair-West, Johannesburg with my parents and two brothers. There I finished my Primary and High school. After High school, I started to work with my mother at the Department of Labour. My duties were administration, unemployment insurance and switchboard. I worked for the Department of Labour for two years.

In 1996 I started to work for ABSA as a finance clerk. I received the credit application from the dealer and processed it on the system. After that, I worked myself up to the Head of applications. After a few months, I went to the contract department and worked myself up to Team leader of contracts. After a few years of Team leader, I needed something more, so I went to the Payouts Department. I was in charge of the signed contracts, FICA Documents and filing of the documents. I received three Prestige Awards for recognition of outstanding performance for employees, community and customers.

At the same time that I was working for ABSA, I met my husband Simon. He taught me to ride a motorbike after that I fell in love with motorbikes. Motorbikes are my hobby. After a few years went by we got married and had a little girl. After 16 years with ABSA, I resigned to look after my daughter. In my spare time, I was working for my husband.
