Brenda Swanepoel expressed the motivation behind this initiative. “We wanted to create a platform where female-owned or operated companies can come together, regardless of their size or type of business. It’s not just about years of experience or knowledge; what truly matters is the connections we make with each other.”
The breakfast event was designed not only to celebrate Women’s Day but also to foster a sense of community among women in business. Attendees engaged in meaningful conversations, shared insights, and explored opportunities for collaboration, all while enjoying delicious offerings from Doppio Zero’s extensive menu.

Through connections we can share our experiences, learn from one another, and grow together,” added Swanepoel.
