Shadrack Ngobeni and fellow butler Isaac come from the same town of Acornhoek and have walked similar paths at Jabulani. Like Sakkie, Shadrack started his career in the Kapama Reserve as a labourer. He was later made responsible for pool maintenance at the lodge.

Carl Olen, our first GM at Jabulani, had an eye for quality people, as most of the staff he employed are still with us, including Shadrack. Carl noticed his potential while at Kapama and trained him to become the butler he is today. Shadrack engages easily and warmly with guests like his colleagues and is always ready to share a story about his time at Jabulani.
