Peter HenKal lives by the axiom, Life is not a rehearsal; it’s the real thing, you only get one shot at it.

Born in the ruins of a war-torn Berlin, Germany in 1944, he immigrated to South Africa aged 20.
Over the next 28 years he had careers in steel construction of Oil refineries and Sugar mills; held Senior management positions in the plastics and tyre Industry.

Aged 40, Peter built up his own business: a revolutionary, plantable concrete retaining wall
system that changed the use of concrete in South Africa forever.

Selling the business gave him finally the freedom to follow his lifelong passion as a Chef, Professional Butler and Hospitality trainer. This 25 year career afforded endless opportunities to work on four continents of the globe.

After he settled back in South Africa Peter, aged 75, turned to
writing; sharing some of his memories – and, delving into the
21st century’s fascinating world of AI and robotics.
