Team

Bas Zuidberg

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.

He graduated from UCT with a degree in accounting and has worked in various sectors of the economy from auditing, corporate finance, import/export, manufacturing, services, hospitality, management consultancy and sales & marketing.

Patrick Wright

Patrick has been living in Noordhoek since 2002. He has been on the Chapman's Peak Neighbourhood Watch committee since 2013.
Patrick is a software developer and has a small software company.
Patrick is passionate about Noordhoek, its natural beauty and cool 'vibes'. He is focused on helping to improve the quality of living in Noordhoek without changing the wonderful rural atmosphere that exists here. His focus is on the civil aspects of this, but he also recognises the importance of a happy community and how this is a significant factor in reducing crime and improving the general aspects of the area.
Patrick has a son who recently settled in Chapmans Peak and a stepson who lives in London.

Rada Binovska

Rada moved to Noordhoek in 2010 with her two children, having lived in South Africa since 2004. Noordhoek has been a constant source of inspiration—no day spent in this remarkable place is ever taken for granted. Surrounded by ocean and mountains, horses, and the ever-resonant calls of leopard toads, it is impossible not to fall in love with the lifestyle it offers.

Rada has worked extensively as a tour guide and travel designer across Southern and South-East Africa. She is deeply passionate about the bush and wildlife, as well as the beauty of the African continent and its people. She holds degrees in IT and in Law and Economics from Odessa State University in Ukraine, where she grew up, and has also worked professionally in Europe and the United Kingdom before relocating to South Africa.

Locally, Rada qualified as a property practitioner, initially with the intention of managing her own property. Through exploring opportunities for development while preserving natural beauty and maintaining environmental balance, she felt compelled to volunteer and contribute meaningfully to her community. Witnessing the dedication and impact of the Noordhoek Ratepayers’ Association (NRPA), and recognising the commitment required, Rada joined the team and officially assumed responsibility for the planning portfolio in June 2025.
