Du Toit is a man who does not give up easily. Passionate about training and development, he has lifted Mint from the verge of collapse into a global successful business, which has already breached the borders of South Africa.

He was fresh out of university when he met Mint's founders in 2000, and became the company's original employee. By then, he had started and sold two IT businesses.

Most of Mint's growth has come in the past 18 months - from 40 employees four years ago, the company now has over 130 people. Training programmes and internships were introduced and Du Toit is proud of employing top talent.

Besides the Johannesburg office, Mint recently opened an office in Cape Town, followed by another one in Africa. The company now also has offices in the US and, according to Du Toit, plans are afoot to expand to Australia in 2017.
