“We often think the other one is trying to copy what I do or they think they can do better than me and so forth.
“I think we should use that energy to support each other.
“We do not stand to lose anything by supporting each other’s businesses; we, in fact, stand to gain a whole lot.
“The campaign is about women taking up economic development, like Miss Universe has said.
“That’s what the campaign is all about.
“Our aim is to form a network of female business owners and start a culture whereby we support one other and lookout for each other,” says Tembe.
