About

Hi! I’m Afzul Soobedaar.

2016 was a watershed year for me. I took a leap of faith leaving a C-suite position to start my own business. I had spent the last twenty odd years in senior and executive management positions in a variety of businesses, and gained extensive experience across a wide range of business disciplines. The dream was to leverage this experience to help businesses and startups overcome the challenges they face, producing results that make a meaningful difference.

I hold a B.Sc. and MBA degrees from the University of KwaZulu Natal, as well as certifications in Design Thinking, Design Sprints and Facilitation.

I discovered remote working well before the pandemic made this a necessity, and equipped myself to provide all my services remotely enabling delivery of services to clients with minimal disruption to their schedules.

I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients operating in different sectors of the economy. I have access to a network of highly qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable professionals that help to deliver on larger projects.

I am based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

our clients

We engaged Perispec Consulting to develop policies for the bus industry and highly recommends their services. Their director, Afzul, is professional and instills confidence.

Gary WilsonGeneral Secretary | South African Road Passenger Bargaining Council

It has been a pleasure and an honour to have been associated with Afzul for many years. Though his business he has made an enormous contribution to the private security industry, being instrumental in the establishment of the NBCPSS (National Bargaining Council for the Private Security Sector). Perispec guided the parties through the entire process from statutory aspects, to mediation and operational and financial planning. To get a Bargaining Council from inception to fruition is no small feat. This business is highly recommended.

Costa DiavastosChief Executive Officer | Bidvest Protea Coin

Highly recommended for an enlightening experience of strategy planning. Facilitation was extremely well managed while still extracting thoughts and contribution. Team feedback is extremely positive and the experience highly commended. Afzul as the facilitator managed the sessions allowing input and gave direction without dictating. Certainly can recommend Afzul as a facilitator to lead your next strategy planning.

Andries SchoemanChief Executive Officer | V3 Consulting Engineers

Working with Perispec Consulting on the Fruit Industry Social Compact commissioned by the Fruit Industry Value Chain Round Table was a great pleasure. They are highly professional, adhere to agreed project schedule and produce high quality work at a cost effective rate. I highly recommend this company.

Konanani LiphadziFounder & Managing Director | Dzima Agri

I would highly recommend Afzul Soobedaar. He facilitated workshops aimed at building trust relations between labour and business, the outcomes were excellent and his uniquely tailored models helped us to find solutions that are sustainable in the long term. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Mpho McNamee DoeChief of Corporate Affairs | Telkom

Excellent service. The workshop provided clear, structured guidance that sharpened our strategic direction and aligned our business priorities. A valuable and insightful session that delivered real impact.

Gibran DawoodManaging Director | SyncMeister

Our two-day strategy workshop with Perispec Consulting was a game-changer for SWS. We were expertly guided through a series of tailored sessions, challenging our thinking and fostering a collaborative environment. We emerged with a clear, actionable direction for our company, invigorated by Perispec Consulting’s blend of professional insight and deep commitment to understanding our unique needs. Their impact on our strategic planning and team cohesion has been invaluable, setting us on a path to meaningful success. What was remarkable and worth mentioning is the personal emotional investment that was shown by Perispec in our company success, not just in the session but after as well.

Muhammed Zia DawoodFounder & Managing Director | SuperWise Solutions

Perispec Consulting facilitated a strategic planning session for us at Transnet Bargaining Council. We also had the benefit of their expert guidance in our most recent project of insourcing the dispute resolution function in terms of the Labour Relations Act. I highly recommend them.

Mthimkulu MashiyaGeneral Secretary | Transnet BC

Afzul steered a great strategy session for AwqafSA to bring a directed focus to our preliminary strategy discussion allowing us to choose realistic objectives we can realistically achieve while bringing to our attention weaknesses we need to address and correct to gear us to make an impactful contribution to opportunities that are currently within our vision.
