Dr Randall Ortel, a beacon of perseverance and determination, who has charted an inspiring path from the tough neighbourhood of Manenberg to managing the esteemed Karl Bremer Hospital. This trailblazer is not only the first medical doctor and specialist hailing from his community, but his journey serves as an emblem of triumph against the odds. Dr Ortel, who recently added a Master's Degree in Family Medicine from the prestigious University of Cape Town to his already impressive credential list, continues to scale the heights of his profession. His academic journey began at the University of Stellenbosch, where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Medicine & Surgery (MBChB) with an unwavering determination. He also gained coveted postgraduate qualifications in Occupational Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Obstetrics from the highly-respected Colleges of Medicine of South Africa (CMSA). His achievements doe not end there. He has been admitted as a fellow of the Colleges of Family Medicine at the CMSA. This steadfast physician funded his dream through an unusual combination of grit and determination, juggling part-time work as a minibus taxi driver during his studies. His story is a testament that resilience, abiding passion and disciplined consistency can turn even the loftiest dreams into reality. He embodies the possibility that arises when vision and sheer determination blend - all barriers are surmountable, all objectives achievable. His astounding journey inspires all who dare to dream and engage in the pursuit of their ambitions relentlessly. 

Kim Palmer is the founder of On The Ball College and WeTrainICT, the Learn2Boom online training portal and the On The Ball Podcast. On The Ball College is accredited through MICT Seta and training partners with Microsoft, Oracle Academy, AWS, CompTIA, CertiPort and Pearson VUE Prometric. This college gives teenagers and young adults, from underprivileged backgrounds, the opportunity to study critically needed IT skills that lead to employment through her work placement programme.

​

Kim is also the chairwoman of On The Ball Foundation and founder of the well-known and fast-growing Women in ICT annual conference. ICT is a sector where women are grossly underrepresented — only 23% of tech jobs are held by women in South Africa. Palmer says that this results in many misperceptions

that young women hold about ICT, which she is making an effort to
change. She says the solution to promote inclusivity in the local tech sector lies in encouraging and supporting women to pursue careers in it. She believes that young women in the sector should explore and empower themselves. Technology is growing, and it’s growing at a fast pace, and you shouldn’t be putting any restrictions on yourselves. My advice to young women is to go and grab any sort of technology they find fascinating and take it further, because there is so much out there.

​

Kim works tirelessly to inspire her students to believe in themselves by giving them the tools to create a life they never thought possible. “You can only dream about what you have been exposed to. We need to educate and inspire our youth so that they understand that IT and technology are career options. “I want our youth to dream big and in turn, those creative ideas will become a reality in our country...it did for me.”
