The Lalibela A Team

Zingisa Siwisa – Office name: “Zingy”
Always full of fun and with a smile on her face, Zingy hails from East London and after finishing her schooling there and in Grahamstown, she moved to the friendly city of Port Elizabeth where she studied Travel and Tourism at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. No-one in the office has ever seen Zingy without a smile on her face – we have a side bet running to see just what it will take to get her angry about anything!

Favourite animal – "Cheetah, I have a thing for speed."

I like… to get excited about the day.

Gail Davies – Office name -“Gail”
Gail busies herself in the marketing department at Lalibela. This of course gives her many opportunities to travel to various exotic locations around the world on the pretence of actually working – making everyone else very jealous indeed. When in the office however, she is super efficient and we therefore allow her to occasionally help us out in reservations when we are snowed under……or when we want to take a break and watch someone else do some work!

Favourite animal – "The Meerkat, they are inquisitive, just like me."

I like…"The fact that no 2 days are the same in our offices!”

Vernon Wait – Office name: “depends whether he is present or out of the office…”
The Boss! Vernon has been involved with Lalibela from the start and is one of the shareholders. His visionary ideas have helped make Lalibela what it is today (we have to say that because he pays our salaries…). Unfortunately this creative aspect of his personality means that attention to detail in an office environment is definitely not one of his strengths. As a result, he is not allowed anywhere NEAR the reservations system and only occasionally do we allow him to answer the phone!

Favourite animal – The very rare “lesser spotted hard-working employee”

I like…"The relaxed atmosphere that we have in the office. It allows us to be productive and to achieve the internal goals that we set ourselves”
