If non-African, how do you promote Africans in international arbitration/ADR?
I have dual South African-Dutch nationality, and am an Adjunct Professor at the University of Cape Town, where I have taught the LLM arbitration course since 2004 and host and/or engage in fora around diversity and career-building in international arbitration.

In addition, through my work at ICCA I am a member of ICCA's African Working Group, which is dedicated to promoting use of arbitration in Africa. I co-hosted, organised and participated closely in the process that led to the creation of AfAA.
