NEWTOWN
	De Necker, Zander (Operational & Office Manager) Campus: Newtown Zander was born, he was raised (by interesting people) and now he is working at CityVarsity Newtown. An Interior Decorator by trade and later Interior Designer, he became a Jack of all trades. From being a Materials Manager at one of South Africa’s oldest foundries he crossed paths with Lloyd Power, the Executive Producer of hit television series such as Konings and Torings. Lloyd having an eye for new talent soon became Zander’s mentor and urged him to pursue a career as a producer in the film industry. After securing funds from the NFVF for the development of the feature film, While the Music Lasted, he proceeded to work on the project as Executive Producer with the likes of Brümilda van Rensburg and Lerina Erasmus. As a soon to be published Afrikaans poet and novelist, he also writes and contributes to screenplays.
