Sanlam Financial Adviser
Wouter Badenhorst
About me
I started off my career in the South African legal department for 5 years. I was a legal consultant with Sanlam for 8 years, for the next 28 years I was in management. I chose this path as I enjoy working and helping people. I wanted to help clients to grow in their financial wellbeing. I have obtained my B Juris, LLB, ILPA and various International Quality awards. In 2019 I retired but could not sit and do nothing and felt that I could still help my clients so I decided to join Ori-Vaal BlueStar Financial Advisory Services as an associate adviser. I am a farmer at heart and enjoy spending time on the farm amongst my cattle.
