Not your typical receptionist

When you phone Wunderman, chances are that it will be the dulcet tones of Thulane Khumalo that you will hear when somebody picks up the phone.

Thulane, who was born near Dundee in Kwazulu-Natal, has not had an easy time of it; in 1994, he was the victim of a hit-and-run accident and his left leg was amputated at the knee. Nevertheless, he persevered through school and college and eventually landed a job at the National Prosecuting Authority as a typist (somewhat ironic, given that he is a fan of Jacob Zuma!) Before long, the father of no less than two sets of twins was promoted to the position of receptionist and he has never looked back.

After working for the government, Thulane says Wunderman is a much more pleasant environment.
"I really like it here," he says. "People are friendly, they understand how I am."
