When Old Collegians hire Old Collegians - a result of a brotherhood that knows few barriers 🔴⚫️⚪️

James Ballantyne (OC 1987) of JaBe Training & Consulting Health and Safety asked College Connect to assist with finding a reliable Forestry and Health and Safety Consultant to join his team.

And we found Nicholas Parmanand (OC 2022). This was in February 2026 and we're pleased to say that James has found the team member he was looking for, and Nicholas has secured stable work which provides him with scope to grow.

The core values of being a College boy carries its weight in gold when it comes to what employers need.

HONESTY 🔴INTEGRITY ⚫️ COURAGE ⚪️ SELF-DISCIPLINE 🔴COMMITMENT ⚫️ RESPECT

Really looking forward to this one!

Our Co-Founder and CTO Tristan Drummond (OC 2016) has been invited to speak at monthly Learning Lunch webinar, and we couldn’t be happier to see him take the stage.

He’ll be unpacking how smart leaders are putting AI to work without falling for the hype:

🔹 Why AI is moving from a tool you use to a teammate you manage

🔹 Why cheaper AI will probably make companies spend more, not less

🔹 How to build an AI-ready organisation without wasting money on the noise

If you’re a leader trying to figure out where AI actually fits, this one’s worth the lunch hour.

We'd like to give a special shout-out to 2 Old Collegians who sponsored incredible Hole-in-One prizes for our Reunion Golf Day last week 👏
Ant Williamson (OC 1990) of Meerkat Portfolio sponsored a R 100 000 prize for Maritzburg Golf Club, while Zach Pelzer (OC 2016) of XCO Group partnered with Bidvest McCarthy Toyota and sponsored R 250 000 toward a brand-new Toyota at Victoria Country Club.
Unfortunately, we had no winners. But this sure did add extra zest to such a festive day. 🏌🔴⚫⚪
