Our Team

“Kindness costs nothing but is priceless, and making a difference is often simpler than we imagine – you just do it!” Glynne holds a Social Science degree from UCT and has 35 years’ experience in recruitment. For the past 24 years, she has worked in the non-profit sector, and 10 years ago, she founded The Angel Network to support those in need. Passionate about upliftment, Glynne believes in offering a hand up rather than a handout, empowering individuals to build a better future.

“The act of giving, whether it’s time, resources, or love, can provide a sense of fulfilment, purpose, and joy that goes beyond the benefits of receiving something in return.” Hayley is a deeply compassionate individual with a strong background in both marketing and public relations, having qualified with an IMM. Her diverse experiences—from working in corporate event management to her extensive charity work from a young age alongside her parents in The Lions Club—have clearly shaped her commitment to making a difference. Her connection with The Angel Network, where she has been involved since its inception, highlights just how meaningful this work is to her.

“Helping others isn’t just charity – it’s a thread of humanity that binds us together. The Angel Network weaves these threads into a lifeline for those who need it most.” Terri Marks is an attorney by profession who found her true passion in the non-profit sector, uplifting those in need within vulnerable communities across the Western Cape. For the past nine years, she has proudly served as a volunteer on the Executive Committee of The Angel Network Western Cape, as well as on the National Executive Committee. She is humbled by the many inspiring people she has met on this fulfilling journey and remains dedicated to changing the lives of those most in need.

“The true reward of NGO work lies in the moments when kindness turns into impact.
The Angel Network has restored hope, uplifted lives, and strengthened communities.” Dalia Katz is a Human Resources consultant with 35 years’ experience in both corporate and consulting environments, specialising in Labour Law and Leadership Development. Consulting has given her the flexibility to volunteer her time with The Angel Network Western Cape. Her nine-year journey with TAN has been life-changing, rewarding, humbling, and fulfilling. Family, friendships, delicious food, laughter, travel, connecting through kindness, and making a difference all feed her soul.

“Kindness is the bridge that connects those who have with those in need. Through The Angel Network, every act of giving turns into hope.” Maz is employed part-time by The Angel Network as an Administrator. She holds a BA Hons in Broadcasting and brings knowledge of content creation and social media. Before joining, she had not realised the extent of the work involved in the daily operations of the Western Cape division. She is continually amazed by the dedication of the beneficiaries and the management team, who balance their commitment to the organisation alongside work, family, and other responsibilities.

“As an NPO, we stand firmly and proudly by the values of kindness, empathy, integrity, and trust.” Tanya’s background is in Public Relations and Marketing. Living in South Africa, where hardship, inequality, and poverty are widespread, she wanted to make a small difference in the lives of marginalised communities in KwaZulu-Natal, so she started the Angel Network Durban in 2016. She discovered her passion for outreach, and the Angel Network has enabled her to fulfil this passion on a daily basis—working with a team of caring, kind, capable, like-minded individuals who all want to make a positive impact in our country.

“Every kind act, no matter how small, changes the world for the better.” Rachel is a dedicated mum of two boys with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. With nine years’ experience in the non-profit sector, she is deeply passionate about making a positive impact and contributing to the betterment of our country. Her work in the NPO space has fuelled her commitment to creating meaningful change and empowering communities.

“The reward of giving from the heart in any way has an effect which ripples through all eternity.” Rachel was first introduced to the Durban branch of The Angel Network many years ago when donating a baby camp cot. Her consistent willingness, participation, and enthusiasm in response to appeals led to her becoming a more permanent member in 2021 (to be confirmed) as a part-time volunteer. Although Rachel now works with her husband, she loves her involvement and is constantly bowled over by the difference The Angel Network makes and the amount of good it brings to the greater Durban community. She assists in any way when called upon, supports Tanya and the team in all aspects, and has a true heart for helping those in need.

Galia Durbach has been a director of The Angel Network since 2021. She brings a wealth of experience from her background in consulting and financial services across South Africa and Australia, as well as her experience in non-profit directorships. “I feel privileged to be able to play a role in the Angel Network, which is committed to making a difference to those most in need”.

My work with children through Playball has deepened my understanding of how essential health and wellbeing are to a child’s ability to grow, feel safe, and experience joy. Every session reminds me that when kids are nourished and supported, they become more confident, engaged, and resilient. This is what draws me to The Angel Network—because every child, no matter where they live, deserves the dignity of a full stomach and the chance to simply be a child, not just survive. “To nourish a child is to nourish the future.”
