Qu i z L itha Peter’s mood took a turn for the better when he received the news that he had won SAICE’s Know Your Sector Competition. Litha, currently an engineer in JG Afrika’s Roads and Highway Division is interested in the fields of roads and highways, drainage and hydrology, as well as municipal infrastructure. A keen advocate for mentor- ship and engagement, Litha has been involved in various leadership structures over the years, including the SAICE Student Chapter at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, the SAICE Algoa Branch’s main and YMP committees, CESA YPF Gqeberha Regional Committee, and the Wits School of Civil Engineering Student Council. He has also been a facilitator for Blacksmiths, a peer/student mentorship programme that provides guidance and mentorship to students who are transitioning from university into the workplace. “Being an engineer is exciting in that all projects are different and present different challenges and op- portunities. Above all else, our daily job is to provide services to the people and improve their lives,” he says. Litha will be using his R10 000 prize money to buy a pair of durable, multi-use safety boots that he has been longing for (and which are quite pricey). He will use the remaining money to treat himself and contribute towards his savings. When he is not working, men- toring or volunteering, Litha enjoys being active, particularly engaging in sports and exercise. He also uses his free time to explore his keen interest in the technical environment, particu- larly 3D modelling and coding.  Another happy quiz winner
