Kamogelo Shika

I enjoy working for DAG because it’s an organization that offers a wide variety of opportunities, ranging from building relationships with key decision-makers, to engaging and co-creating collaborative strategies with historically marginalized communities.

Kamogelo is a Project Officer at DAG. In her time at the organisation, her main focus has been on the Contractor and Developer Academy (CDA) and the Backyard Matters projects. Her role entails strengthening the capacity of emerging developers in the implementation and management of affordable rental housing. Kamo has a strong background in GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and studied City and Regional Planning at the University of Cape Town (UCT). She is passionate about thinking spatially about justice – not only from a theoretical point of view, but also using practical knowledge to lead to effective actions and to achieve a more inclusive city.
