Driven by a strong desire to make a meaningful impact on society, Khaya is the visionary behind Iqhawe Consulting, a growing consultancy based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Khaya Tyatya founded Iqhawe Consulting with the noble goal of providing comprehensive research and consulting services in the sphere of socio-economic development.

Furthermore, they conduct baseline, midline, and endline assessments for various projects, all aimed at measuring the impact and effectiveness of initiatives.
