Central - LIV Village

LIV CENTRAL

LIV CENTRAL OVERSEES AND STEWARDS THE GOVERNANCE AND GROWTH OF THE VILLAGES, PROJECTS, BUSINESS AND LEADERS OF LIV

BRINGING STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE

LIV Central was launched in January 2021 under the leadership of Sheldon Delport and Lee Shutte due to the expansion of the LIV footprint through other villages being onboarded. We oversee and steward the governance and growth of our villages and projects.

LIV Central is a registered NPC with a national board of governors and an executive management team who have been selected to bring a combination of sound spiritual oversight, wisdom, practical guidance, transparent good governance, centralised support, and leadership team development.

This is a combination of committed, Christian visionary leaders representing the body of Christ; men and women who have experience in business, marketing, finance, social services, education, good governance practices, and the rule of law.

FACILITATING GROWTH AND EXPANSION

LIV Central facilitates the growth and expansion of our vision across multiple villages and projects. By providing a centralised support system, we enable leadership development, foster discipleship, and achieve cost savings to ensure alignment and protection of the LIV vision and brand.

Our commitment lies in empowering the collective impact of LIV’s vision through streamlined operations, optimising resources and cultivating a strong foundation for sustainable growth.

LEADERSHIP SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT

This is an integral component of our approach. We provide a nurturing environment where our Village leaders can enhance their skills, expand their knowledge, and embrace new perspectives.

Our Central team stands alongside them, providing guidance, resources, and a supportive network. Together, we foster an environment of collective learning and continuous growth, where leaders can thrive and contribute to the shared vision of transforming lives and communities.

LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH LIV INVESTMENT HOLDINGS PTY LTD

LIV Investment Holdings exists to be the primary funding mechanism for LIV Central.

As LIV Central continues to expand and evolve, we are committed to investing in companies through our 100% black-owned holding company. By investing in businesses, we create a mutually beneficial partnership. The dividends generated from these investments contribute to sustaining the operational costs of LIV Central. This, in turn, enables us to reduce operating fees for each LIV entity, promoting financial stability and viability for all.

MEET OUR LIV CENTRAL EXECUTIVES

Sheldon’s commitment to LIV’s vision and growth has been invaluable since 2016 when he first started working with LIV through our partnership with Step Advisory. While being a chartered accountant and experienced ministry leader is helpful, it is really his expertise and passion for developing leaders and his genuine care for people that has proven to be crucial to LIV’s progress and expansion. Sheldon played a key role in establishing LIV Lanseria in 2018. His strong relationships with our founders, leaders, and communities have provided a strong foundation for his leadership and support for many across the LIV GROUP. In 2023, Sheldon was appointed Chairman of the LIV Central board. Sheldon is married to Heleen, they have two young daughters, and they currently reside in Johannesburg, South Africa.
