Coetzee will be CEO of Little Eden, which cares for 300 children and adults, effective from November 1.
With a strong background in both the NPO and corporate sectors, Coetzee brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Society.

Chairperson of the board of governors, Luigi Slaviero, echoed Rohrbeck’s sentiment.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ann to the Little Eden family,” said Luigi.
He added that her leadership will strengthen the society’s mission and ensure that it continues to provide residents with the love and care they deserve.
