Thumeka Moletsane is Head of Operations at Sanlam Corporate Investments and a mental health vlogger. She is a small-town girl, the first to qualify as a chartered accountant in her hometown of Tarkastad, Eastern Cape. She has the vision to give back to her community, who she says always took an interest in her career. Thumeka strives for transformation, diversity and inclusion in all that she does.

She began her career in 2013 when she joined SizweNtsalubaGobodo as an article clerk. In January 2018, she moved to Dublin, Ireland, to work as an audit manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers. In January 2020, she returned to South Africa and joined Ernst and Young as a senior audit manager.

During her time at EY, Thumeka was selected as an attendee for the Africa Leadership Development Centre and Women as Leaders programmes. In September 2021, she took employment as Head of Operations at Sanlam within their corporate investment business.

As her career continued to progress, she kept true to her initiative of educating people about mental illness. In October 2020, her Facebook page and YouTube channel, The Anxiety Princess, was born. The Anxiety Princess platform is targeted at providing information to people suffering from mental health-related illnesses and to their caregivers on how to cope with mental illness.
