Ballet, and progressed to Principal Dancer, having danced the lead male roles in famous ballets such as Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, and others. He did a stint overseas with a small company, based in Germany. Unfortunately, a knee injury forced Francois into early retirement. He then completed a course in Travel and began a career as a travel consultant. In 2009, Francois joined a franchise, and worked as an Independent Travel Counsellor – a job he embraced with passion, he was well liked
and respected amongst his peers and clients. Given the downturn in the travel industry, Francois has now joined Deuce Real Estate, to lend his people skills and experience in dealing with clients, to our business. He has taken to the job, like a duck to water, and we are expecting great things from him, as he pursues this new direction in his career path!

She honed her skills in dealing with guests and applied her flair for extreme attention to detail. She later ventured to the USA, where she was in the employ of an extended-stay hotel establishment and then decided to undertake the responsible and difficult task of au pairing! On her return to South Africa, she explored her interest in photography and combined this with courses in the beautician industry, to best serve her clients,
who relied on her to make their wedding day a memorable occasion. Before relocating to Paradise Beach and buying property here, she took on the management of a few rental properties, to make good use of her spare time. She is dynamic, hard-working and with her range of experience a valuable asset to Deuce Real Estate, setting up and managing our rental division.
