More about Malema

With a background in law, communications, and real estate, I’m passionate about helping clients navigate the property market with clarity and confidence. My legal grounding gives me a distinct competitive edge - ensuring that every transaction is compliant, strategic, and secure.

Before stepping fully into real estate, I built and ran my own successful events business, an experience that shaped my entrepreneurial mindset and deepened my belief in service excellence, discipline, and integrity. Within the By Design model, that entrepreneurial spirit is at the heart of everything I do, I see each client relationship as a personal investment, and I’m committed to delivering an experience defined by care, trust, and tangible results.

Whether guiding first-time buyers or marketing luxury homes, I focus on creating a seamless, transparent journey that allows clients to make informed, confident decisions.

Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mother, and I find balance through tennis, netball, and hiking - moments that keep me grounded and remind me that real success is built on energy, teamwork, and purpose. I bring that same spirit into my work every day ensuring that every client feels supported, understood, and empowered to achieve their real estate goals.
