Surface
Molweni, I'm Okuhle.
I find where problems start, in soil, in systems, in money and in code, and I fix them before they grow. So we can all live a little better.
Scroll down. We're digging.
What I do topsoil
They look like different jobs. To me they're the same job: look underneath, find the cause, fix it properly.
I'm a Risk and Anti-Money Laundering analyst at a major South African bank. I follow money back to where the trouble started, and help stop it before it spreads.
I build websites that feel like the people behind them, and simple dashboards that help small businesses and NGOs see their own numbers clearly.
I'm a trained horticulturist. I'll help you choose the right plants, bring tired soil back to life, and grow a garden that actually feeds you.
Free, one-on-one and online. Thirty minutes with someone who has been where you are. Book a session.
Quick quiz 3 questions
Answer three questions and I'll point you to the right place, and tell you which South African plant you'd be.

My work subsoil
A few things I've built, planted and fixed.
Website, client build
A full website for an architecture firm in Sandton. A 12-project portfolio, clear navigation, privacy pages, search-ready setup, and a layout that holds up on a phone.

Every day I look at transactions and behaviour for signs of money laundering and fraud, then write up what I find so the right action gets taken.
Horticulture, 2022
Six months on Rentokil Initial's landscape and planting team in Cape Town, putting plants into real commercial spaces and keeping them alive.
Food gardens, since 2020
First as a seasonal agricultural officer, now as a volunteer, working with an organisation that helps people grow their own food.
Code, small apps
A live weather app for any city, and a converter that shows the time anywhere at a glance. Handy when your people live in different time zones.
More code lives on GitHub.
Okuhle is someone I always look up to. She approaches every situation with curiosity and an open mind. She never makes assumptions about data and never lets bias creep in. The data drives the decision. And she never decides for a client; she lets the client decide.
Thank you for your work. It's amazing.
Mentorship where new roots grow
I know what it feels like to walk into a room and believe you don't belong there. If you're a young woman working out your studies, your career, or just yourself, let's talk.
We can talk about: choosing a path, CVs and applications, moving to a new city, studying while working, and believing you belong in the room.
I coach in the RNDA Youth Mentorship programme, and I helped create women's gatherings built around identity.
Education parent material
The first in my family to graduate, and still learning.
My story the taproot
I grew up in Keiskammahoek, a village near King William's Town in the Eastern Cape. I was raised by women: my mother, my grandmother, and later my aunt. Everything I know about showing up for people, I learned from them.
It was hard. At home we spoke isiXhosa, and my English didn't feel good enough. I looked different. I acted different. For a long time it felt like everything about me was wrong for the room.
Years later, something shifted. I realised there was nothing wrong with me. Being different is one of the greatest strengths you can have.
In a room full of people, don't try to be like them. Know who you are, and stand on that.
That's my root. Everything else on this page grows from it.

Hiring, building, gardening or growing: I'd love to hear from you.
I'm in Cape Town, South Africa (SAST, UTC+2).
