Hangana is ready to climb the business ladder
Afika Hangana knows that when it comes to unlocking true business value, you need to start with your most valuable assets – your customers.
As a client executive at 21st Century, one of the largest specialists Remuneration, Organisation Development and Change consultancy in South Africa, he sees every single day as an opportunity to establish, build, and most importantly, maintain client relationships.
But what exactly sets him apart in an industry that relies so heavily on leveraging relationships? “I believe it is crucial to fully immerse myself in anything and everything pertaining to the rewards and remuneration industry,” says Hangana.

“My ability to offer pragmatic solutions is sound because I inherently understand the arena that my clients play in, meaning that the services and solutions that I can offer them are based on solid research and best practice models.”
Keeping himself motivated by the constant reminder that heroes are only forged in fire, Hangana rises to the daily challenges he sees as opportunities for growth.
“I know that if I want to continue growing, it is necessary to encounter brick walls every now and then. But these will never stop me, I’d rather use them to shape and mould me to become resilient, to become the best service provider possible. I always try to focus on the bigger picture. This is what has led me to where I am, and this is what will drive me to where I want to be.”
There is no doubt that with an attitude like that, Hangana is set to become a force to be reckoned with. A positive attitude is one of his strongest character traits.
“I believe any skill can be taught given the right attitude. Positive attitude is the cornerstone of everything I do – in the way of thinking, of carrying oneself and interaction with others. This, for me, is critically important.”
