Forensic Fire Investigation Advisor

Pravisha. P. Ramsundar

My name is Pravisha, and I am 36 years old. In 2011, I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Life and Earth Sciences, majoring in Chemistry and Microbiology. In 2013, I attained my Honours in Environmental Monitoring and Modeling from UNISA. Currently, I am in the process of completing my Master’s in Business Administration.

I have in excess of 13 years experience in fire investigation and have completed intensive forensic fire investigation training both locally and internationally.

Previously, I held the position of Senior Forensic Analyst at the Forensic Science Laboratory, where I was responsible for investigating fire scenes across the nation. Presently, I serve as a Forensic Fire Specialist in the Insurance industry. I am a member of the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI) and am actively working towards my registration as a Professional Scientist in the field of Fire Investigation with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP).

I joined the NBASA team a few years ago in a voluntary advisory capacity.

Lubabalo “Luba” Lukhozi

January 2015 I was fighting for my life in ICU. June 2023 I finished the most iconic human race in the world. My scars are a permanent reminder of how strong I really am.

Kimberly Molala

Kimberly Molala, a 37 -year-old NBASA Ambassador and Coordinator in Gauteng, survived a life-changing fire accident 24 years ago. Despite the challenges of adjusting to life with visible scars, she found strength in positive affirmations and self-acceptance.

Joining NBASA in 2012 provided her with a supportive community, helping her regain confidence and assist others facing similar struggles. She started as a receptionist in 2011 and now works as a Talent Acquisition Partner while pursuing a BCom Honours in Business Management.

A devoted mother, Kimberly strives to inspire her daughter and others to persevere despite adversity. She plans to write a book, #LifeBeyondScars, to share her journey of healing and empowerment. Rooted in faith, she believes her story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the power of grace.

NBASA Ambassador (Eastern Cape)

Nombulelo

Nombulelo, an NBASA Ambassador from the Eastern Cape, has faced a lifelong journey of resilience after suffering severe burns as a child. From the age of four, she traveled regularly to Red Cross Children’s Hospital for treatments aimed at improving her scars. The constant stares and medical procedures left her feeling withdrawn, making childhood a challenging experience.

Enduring numerous surgeries, skin grafts, and painful tissue expansion treatments, she found a sense of control in actively participating in her own healing process. Despite the trauma, Nombulelo’s journey is one of perseverance and strength, inspiring others to navigate their own paths with courage.
