Brad Bing
CHAIRMAN
Brad’s family moved to Noordhoek in 1969. He lives on the same property where he grew up. In 2014 he was asked if he would mediate a conflict which had arisen as a result of the demise of the Noordhoek Conservancy. He has been involved with the NRPA since then. He believes the community needs people who understand it’s history. Brad is an entrepreneur who has run his own business for 32 years. Noordhoek is close to his heart and he still remembers making bonfires on the beach. Brad believes that a community is only as strong as the engagement of its people. He would like to see everyone contributing towards keeping the tranquillity of Noordhoek. He is excited about the progress the NRPA is making.

Bas Zuidberg
PLANNING
Bas moved with his wife and 2 teenage kids to Noordhoek in 2017. They had been living for 10 years in Egypt before that and Noordhoek was one of the reasons for choosing to move to South Africa instead of moving back to the Netherlands where they are originally from. Being able to live in a rural setting, surrounded by mountains, wetland and beach, just 45 minutes from downtown Cape Town with all its world class offerings, is something that is truly unique. Bas is a supply chain and SME finance expert, working mainly in Central and East Africa. His motives for joining NRPA are to help the community to navigate the challenges facing it, while at the same time retaining its unique identity.
