“As women, we tend to shy away from being in the limelight,” she said. “We also tend not to be assertive enough. With this, it is my way of encouraging women to put themselves and their businesses in the spotlight. The winners and runners-up are people who not only run successful businesses, but are making a difference to the lives of others in all the areas in which they live and ultimately, the lives of people in our beautiful country, South Africa.”
