About

Natalie-Dominique Louw was born in Pretoria in 1955. 

Natalie-Dominique worked as a lab assistant at the Department of Agriculture in 1972 while she studied for her chemistry diploma. After working at the Atomic Energy Corporation (now the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation), she discovered an interest in law and received her BProc through UNISA in 1997.

In 1991 Natalie-Dominique started working at the Department of Justice as a Senior Legal Administration Clerk, working her way up to be a Legal Administration Officer and eventually Senior Department Law Advisor.

Her deep love for powerful cars also resulted in her partaking in the sport of Blind Navigators rallying and being a respected motor journalist.

In 2020 Natalie-Dominique exchanged the corporate world for a life less fast-paced. Changing gears allowed her to explore her love for art and writing.

Natalie-Dominique enjoys collecting miniature cars in her spare time and boasts a substantial collection that includes Bburago, Schuss, Onyx and Hot Wheels. Although not for sale, arrangements can be made to view her collection which boasts Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, Porsches, Formula 1 cars and a variety of others.
