Linden residents Melodie de Jager and Cozette Laubser started a brand-new initiative called Women on the Move to bring together women from all walks of life at Relax, Connect, Converse, in Linden.
The women, who run their own businesses from home came together on 27 June to get inspired, explore some local talent and enjoy the fresh air and clear blue skies Joburg winters are famous for.
