Victor is also the founder of Mobility Centre for Africa, a non-profit company that is dedicated to advocating for and researching smarter mobility solutions.
Having worked on some transportation and aviation-related projects like the Ekurhuleni and Durban aerotropolis projects, Victor believes that building efficiencies in global travel requires improvements of the first and last mile of air travel.

Victor is passionate about digital transformation (popularly referred to as the 4th Industrial Revolution) of key industries like the aviation and transportation. When Victor founded Mzansi, he thought the industry was only about aviation. Little did he realise that drone technology is in just about every major sector of the economy, which includes agriculture, mining, construction, security, etc. Victor serves as a co-convener of R & D Workstream of the ICASA’s 5G Forum, which is tasked with harnessing the IoT opportunities that this technology promises. Victor is also an executive committee member of the Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Association of Southern Africa (CUAASA), an industry body that is working with the SACAA and government to develop and promote the adoption of drone technology.
