South African businessman Frik van Heerden making waves in the modelling space

Frik van Heerden is a highly successful businessman, but on the other hand, he also enjoys being in front of the camera and on runways as a flourishing male model.

By merging various sectors in business to create a multi-faceted organisation offering a one stop solution, Frik is recognized internationally for his significant contributions to transforming and diversifying the entrepreneurial landscape.

As the CEO of the elite Financial Services Organization RFG Capital, the well-to-do businessman has come a long way since his humble beginnings as a small town Afrikaans farm boy from Kuruman.

“Growing up in a small town was one of the biggest gifts my parents could have given me. The ability to grow up with a close knit community is something that I believe every person must experience sometime during their life,” he stated.

Now based in Pretoria making waves in both the business and the modelling world, Frik still enjoys visiting the farm.

He elaborates, “I return as much as possible. I must say even though Pretoria is my house, the farm is my home. Spending time on the farm is like experiencing freedom on a whole different level. It provides me with a powerful balance between the city life, business and the humbling nature of my upbringing. I believe that balance between your personal and professional life is key to success.”

Frik will continue to share his experience and skills with the rest of the world and he is excited for the opportunity to meet and network with European Agencies in Paris next year.When asked what excites him the most about the future, Frik’s face lights up.
