Warming Up for the Nedbank Desert Dash 2021

Reaching the pinnacle in every way.

 

The Nedbank Desert Dash 2021 is almost upon us, and it is with great pride and pleasure that we can announce that the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre will leave its mark under the Namibian sun. Keep your eyes peeled for our very own polygraph examiner and company director; Mr Chris Karsten, as well as Mercia Swanepoel, wife of polygraph examiner HJ Swanepoel, as they burn their way across the back of the beast while sporting the PISA colours.

As described on their Facebook page, the Desert Dash is not just an endurance mountain bike race, it's a wild beast that lures you, challenges you and allows only a few to stay on its back. It's a 393km, 24-hour fight between human and nature, body and mind. Starting in Windhoek the route climbs the Khomas Hochland up to a level of 2000m above sea level. 

We at the PISA Integrity Assessment Centre knows that reaching the pinnacle requires dedication, passion, and hard work, and we live that truth on every level. Whether it is striving for professional perfection in the sphere of polygraph examinations and service delivery in the pre-employment vetting environment or facing up to great challenges outside of the office, we will always deliver our best. 

We wish them the best of luck as they take the PISA name even further.
