Soaring up the corporate ladder A
stute young entrepreneur, Shaheer Noormohamed (28) not only has a flair for business but is also passionate about serving his community, which he has done in a variety of ways for many years. At the age of 17, while many of his peers were more concerned with enjoying their youth, Noormohamed was establishing his sense of social responsibility, joining the Pretoria Muslim Trust and providing assistance not only towards the welfare of the community, but also serving on the local burial committee. While still in matric, he worked during the afternoons as a sales rep in order to gain his independence and not relying on his entrepreneurial family for an income. Not long thereafter, he was appointed as manager of an advertising agency. He climbed the career ladder and eventually became a director of property management company Nazprop, with a portfolio of diverse properties in the Pretoria CBD, the Centurion suburbs and beyond.

The dynamic Noormohamed is also the director of various other companies, including Property Company Tshwane (Pty) Ltd, ANCYL (Pty) Ltd and Pan African Business Forum (Pty) Ltd. Since his early days, Noormohamed has reached out to the community, serving in leadership positions on various NGOs, including serving as Chairman of the Laudium Community Policing Forum and deputy Chairman of the Pretoria Central Cluster. He has also served in various positions at his local ANC branch and is presently squeezing a course in insolvency law and practice into his busy schedule. He remains committed to assisting in building our country in the spirit of uBuntu and focusing on the future for the benefit of the next generation. The young businessman has certainly put his shoulder to the wheel in practising the famous John F Kennedy quote: “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
