Our Founder, Tanya du Preez

I love what I do. I help make dreams come true for my clients, whether it’s making owning their first home a reality, or helping them to improve their lifestyle through structuring their finance to help them get ahead. I love being part to their journey.

Tanya loves being able to make a difference in her clients’ lives, whether it is making their dreams of owing their first home a reality, helping them acquire an investment property or helping them improve their lifestyles by structuring their finance to help them get ahead. She loves being part of their journey. 

Strategic by nature, Tanya is focused on the big picture, helping clients use debt sensibly to achieve their goals. She believes a poorly executed strategy can be more dangerous than no strategy at all, so attention is paid at each step in the process.

From clients and their advisors, to lenders and other parties to transactions including real estate agents and solicitors, Tanya builds great working relationships quickly by delivering on promises and keeping the lines of communication open.

As a qualified Chartered Accountant with more than 20 years’ experience and knowledge of tax and finance, Tanya brings a unique blend of skills to the table. She is able to provide clients with insights and expertise across many disciplines helping unlock opportunities to achieve their goals.

Tanya, and her team’s focus is, and always will be, on the best possible outcomes for our clients as we work together for the long term.

A point of pride for Affinitas is that our clients come back to us as their lifestyles and goals change. Tanya is now seeing the next generation of clients come to us, as the children of our clients reach out to Affinitas Finance for help buying their first homes and beginning their investment journeys.

When she’s not at work, Tanya loves travel, reading and spending time with family and friends. Her happy place is wherever her favourite people are, especially if there is an espresso martini at hand.

Nonjabulo (NJ) Phetha  Diploma in Accounting

Client Service Manager
NJ brings a strong finance background to the team, backed by five years of experience and a Diploma in Accounting. She joined us from a role supporting clients through debt management and liaising closely with their lenders, experience that gives her a great understanding of client needs and the detail required to keep things moving smoothly. With a calm, consistent approach, NJ works to gather information, stay on top of next steps, and helps us deliver clear, practical lending outcomes for you.

Dedicated, honest, and naturally friendly, NJ is the kind of teammate you want in your corner, reliable in the process and thoughtful in the follow up. She enjoys being part of a close team environment and takes pride in helping clients feel supported and informed every step of the way.

Outside of work, NJ’s adventurous side comes out. She has a real passion for travel and great food, and loves exploring new places and cuisines whenever she can. When she is not at her desk, you will likely find her at the gym or the beach, out for a meal with friends and family, heading off on a short road trip, experimenting with fresh DIY nail designs, or settling in for a good binge watch session.

Client Service Manager
Cee joins the Affinitas team with a strong background in lending and experience in South African real estate. She is currently studying towards her Bachelor of Business Administration, bringing even more depth to the knowledge she applies to every client file. From gathering your information to liaising with lenders, valuers, and solicitors, Cee stays across the detail to keep your loan process smooth and well supported.

Working closely with Tanya and the wider support team, Cee keeps things moving at the right pace and often anticipates what is needed next, whether that is a lender follow up or staying ahead of the paperwork. She is known for her reliability, clear communication, and genuine care, grounded in happiness and honesty.

Outside of work, Cee loves being outdoors and making the most of life, especially when it involves staying active and having fun. When she is indoors, she is happiest baking or cooking, and she enjoys keeping herself busy with whatever is next. She has a soft spot for cars, a deep respect for elderly people, and a love of singing that is all her own. Ask her about music and you will quickly learn that worship songs are her favourite, and she sings them with joy.
