Morné Hendrikse brings over 20 years of public administration experience with the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape Department of Local Government, where he worked directly with local small businesses, individuals, and community projects to access economic opportunities and build long-term sustainability. He holds a Bachelor of Administration (NQF 7) from the University of the Western Cape.

During his tenure as a government official, Morné identified a persistent gap: the support structures available to small business owners were often limited by dependency on third-party service providers, leaving entrepreneurs paying steep fees for services that could be delivered far more directly and affordably. Around 5–10 years ago, he began addressing this gap through his own initiative — registering companies at no cost on behalf of local business owners through a well-known consultancy company in Cape Town, even as that provider charged clients significant markups for the service.

Between 2014 and 2023, Morné served as mentor and host site coordinator for West Coast TVET College students in Management Assistant and Human Resources, based at his satellite office at the Atlantis Thusong Centre. In this role, he directly negotiated placement logistics with the college's placement officer for every new student intake on behalf of the Department, building a sustained, hands-on record of successfully hosting and developing TVET graduates.

That combined experience — in direct business support and in structured student mentorship — shaped the foundation of MLH Kuhle Kakhulu Remote Admin Services (Pty) Ltd, registered in February 2025. MLHRAS now delivers direct company registration and compliance support through CIPC, CSD, and related regulatory structures — without requiring clients to leave their homes or navigate long queues for scarce appointments. The service model prioritises efficiency, accessibility, and turnaround time, built on a core belief: sustainable local economic development starts with removing unnecessary barriers between people and the systems meant to serve them.

Building on nearly a decade of successful TVET host-employer experience, Morné is now planning in expanding this mentorship model to MLHRAS in near future, hosting Graduate students from the Business Management and Management Assistant NCV programmes — with placements structured to operate fully remotely from students' own homes
