Dudu Abraham, Operations Manager and qualified Senior Inspector
DuDu
Dudu has more than 20 years experience in SPCAs and is passionate about the wellbeing of all animals, particularly those in the disadvantaged areas.
Outreach work, particularly sterilisations, has increased enormously since Dudu became Operations Manager. As a consequence the level of awareness and the overall condition of animals in the poorer communities shows a marked improvement.
Dudu is utterly dedicated to the cause of animal welfare and is a force to be reckoned with if the situation demands it.
