ABOUT ME

Mrs. Elizabeth Kanani

Elizabeth is a dedicated Academic Programme Leader at MANCOSA, specialising in Supply Chain Management. She holds a Master of Commerce from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and brings over twelve years of experience in teaching and developing strategic supply chain practices that strengthen organisational efficiency and resilience. As an active member of SAPICS, she is committed to bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application, working closely with industry partners to address practical challenges in the field.

Resilient, self-driven, and results-oriented, Elizabeth is known for her adaptability and her ability to
engage with people from diverse backgrounds.

Her leadership extends beyond the classroom; she is a founding member of the Union of Refugee Women in Durban, where she was instrumental in
establishing a childcare centre that has served more than 2000 children from disadvantaged refugee and local communities.

Elizabeth is passionate about empowering African women and is equally dedicated to personal growth, drawing strength from prayer and inspiration from motivational speakers. She has completed leadership and project management training through the University of KwaZulu-Natal and holds a certificate in trauma counselling from the Diakonia Centre. Her participation in the 2007 Women’s Leadership Conference hosted by Student Village in Durban further reflects her ongoing commitment to leadership and community upliftment.
