ABOUT CLEO

I am a communications leader who has spent more than 20 years ensuring that public institutions speak with purpose and connect with the people they serve. My career began at Parliament and evolved through high-level roles across the Department of Home Affairs, Public Protector South Africa, and now the National Treasury, where I serve as Head of Communications.

With expertise in media relations, public sector strategy, internal communication, crisis response, and stakeholder engagement, I bring a sharp strategic lens and a deep commitment to public accountability. At every step, I’ve worked to elevate trust, transparency, and inclusive dialogue.

My purpose is to amplify truth in governance and ensure that institutions communicate not just effectively — but ethically.
