Thabo Nkobo
Thabo Nkobo holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Economics from Vista University and a Certificate Programme in Principles of Business Management from Wits University.
He is a Certified Cost Technician from AACEI and Managing Director of PACE Consulting.
Early in his career, Thabo did cost and management accounting in the three big mining houses analysing data, preparing audits reports, improving cost efficiencies and reporting.
His career progressed to project controls in 2008 when he joined Barrick where he did cost engineering, planning and contract management. He was later seconded to Tanzanian Operation Projects where his role was to set up cost management systems, training locals and cost engineering.
Thabo worked at various mining and energy houses in a project controller and cost engineering capacity, setting up cost management systems, cost engineering, estimation, contract management, training, setting standards, processes, and procedures, to name a few.
He has received more than ten (10) awards and certificates dedicated towards his hard-working personality, passion and being goal orientated.
Thabo’s philosophy of life is driven by the saying “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
His life is anchored in family and thus spends most of his free time with his family, particularly his teenage children and wholly support their ambitions in sport, netball for the daughter and football for his son.
He also invests time in his physical wellbeing by keeping active at the gym, hiking as well as participating in the 10km and 21km races. On lazy days, he relaxes by doing shorter distance jogging or by simply walking, which helps him clear his mind.
He nourishes his brain by taking time every night to read various books.
