About Maureen du Toit
Maureen was born on the first summer day of 1974 in Lesotho (Africa). When she was 4 years old, she was adopted by a Dutch family of doctors. At the age of four, she moved from warm Africa to the drizzly Netherlands. Here, she spent her youth in the quiet Utrecht town of Bilthoven.
After completing her secondary education, Maureen went to Uppsala, Sweden, for a theater course. Back in the Netherlands, her television breakthrough soon followed as Lisa Zoomers in the SBS 6 soap Goudkust. Du Toit played Lisa from 1996 to 2000.
Contrary to the expectations of many, Maureen stopped her television work in 2000 to pursue a psychology degree at the European Institute for Psycho-Social Education. But the screen continued to beckon.
In 2001, she exchanged acting for presenting and made her debut on ‘Heart of the Netherlands’. Besides ‘Heart of the Netherlands’, Maureen also presented the ‘James Bond Journal’ and the much-watched and feared ‘The Taste Police’, where rogue hospitality entrepreneurs are put in their place.
Maureen du Toit is a highly sought-after presenter for corporate presentations, galas, seminars, and as a conference chair.
