Mikaeel is our dynamic marketing communications specialist, focused on connecting Uthando’s initiatives to supportive audiences around the world!
Mikaeel studied at the AAA School of Advertising, where he lead the Student Council, and excelled academically. We crossed paths with Mikaeel in 2024 at the “Rise Exhibition”, which was an event that he had set up to provide exposure & networking opportunities for young artists trying to break through in the industry. Uthando was invited to be a part of the exhibition by Mikaeel’s mentor, Liaqat Azam of the “Leading Like Mandela Foundation”, and after learning about the work that Uthando does, Mikaeel wanted to be a part of it.
Since joining Uthando in February 2025, Mikaeel has managed Uthando’s social media, website, campaign portfolios, as well as e-commerce for the heart of cape town initiative!
Mikaeel’s passion is helping people reach their full potential. You will often find him spending time with our community partners, facilitating capacity building mentorships within the context of Web Development & Digital Marketing!
In his spare time, Mikaeel enjoys spending time in nature, as well as keeping fit. You will often find him out in the mountains, or lifting weights at the gym.
“I joined Uthando because I wanted to live a life that would allow me to help people unlock their full potential. I am grateful that through my work with Uthando South Africa, I am able to achieve this mission every day.”
