MARLISE VAN ASWEGEN — OPERATIONS MANAGER
How long have you worked for the PIRB?
Since 2009. What are you passionate about in life?
Other than work, definitely my family and the outdoors.
What do you love about your job/the PIRB?
When I started with PIRB, I was completely out of my
comfort zone, but my work became a passion in my
life. Making a difference in the industry, working with
amazing people, and constantly learning, made PIRB
more than just a job. Who is your role model / someone you look up to?
I don’t have a specific role model. I look up to positive people
who believe in their dreams and work hard to make it a reality.
What is your favourite motivational quote?
“A negative mind will never give you a positive life.”
CINDY VILJOEN — MARKETING MANAGER
How long have you worked for the PIRB?
Eight months and counting.
What do you love about your job/the PIRB?
I am a communicator at heart, and I am good at it. Every
aspect of my job is what I enjoy — even if the workload
can become intimidating at times.
Who is your role model / someone you look up to?
Nelson Mandela and couples who are happily married for
decades.
What is your favourite motivational quote?
“It always seems impossible until it is done.” — Nelson
Mandela.
What are you passionate about in life?
Charity, animals, and being a mom!
JUSTIENE BOTHA — RECEPTIONIST
How long have you worked for the PIRB?
Since 16 July 2018. serving others, supporting others, contributing to
improving lives.
What do you love about your job/the PIRB?
I love the fact that every time I speak, I have an
opportunity to help someone make a positive change in
their company or personal life. It’s poetic justice that I
now get paid to do what used to get me into trouble at
school: speaking! Who is your role model / someone you look up to?
I am my own role model; I look up to myself. Life threw
me a great deal of challenges that forced me to believe
in myself and trust myself. Everyone else is taken, so I
can only be myself!
What are you passionate about in life?
That every person gets treated with dignity and respect,

What is your favourite motivational quote?
“Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear.”
