Colleagues describe her as "Fiona, as a trustee of S A BALLET THEATRE TRUST, attended investment meetings with the other trustees at our offices, where I, as portfolio manager presented an update on equity markets and investments. Fiona always attended the meetings promptly and well informed. She is highly respected by her fellow trustees, for all her hard work in the fund raising and social development projects that she has spearheaded for SABT. This kind and gentle person,always give her best." and "Fiona is one of the founding members of the South African Ballet Theatre (‘SABT’), the largest ballet company in Africa. Along with Iain MacDonald, Fiona has helped steer the ballet company from it’s inception as an idea through to the tour de force it has become in ballet in South Africa. Fiona is one of the two remaining founder members with the company and the greatest testament to the vital role she performs is having SABT’s best ever ticket sales, along with ‘rave’ reviews on their recent performance of Cinderella. The importance of this within the current recession cannot be underestimated. This success would not have taken place if it were not for her passionate dedication to the company and the vibrant and positive way in which she interacts with all stakeholders."
