Tuesday, 11 December 2007 |
Four new full-time staff members joined the Cell-Life team in the last
quarter of the year bringing the total number of employees at the
organisation to 12.
Projects such as the Mass Cellphone Information Channel as well as the increasing developments on our iDART system have prompted the need for expansion and the Cell-Life team would like to officially welcome each of the new staff to the team. Below is a brief biography of the new employees:
Tshepo is Cell-Life's new training and support person. Having joined the team in July, Tshepo has been involved in implementing and supporting our current sites, most of these related to iDART. In his own words Tshepo describes himself as “tough with will”, “subtle and mellow”, “honest, enthusiastic and playful”. Tshepo also says that he is “overwhelmingly full of life”. We welcome Tshepo to the team and hope that he will grow with us into the future.
Vuyo is Cell-Life's latest addition to the mobile development team. Having joined the team in October, Vuyo has been learning his trade on the various mobile applications and technologies. Cell-Life is Vuyo's first form of employment and the team welcomes him to the family and we wish him a prosperous future with us.
