Local businesswoman and mother, Corinda Loots, won an award during the International Mother of Pearl Awards.
According to Corinda, she was selected out of 2 000 nominees to win the award.
She explained that the focus criteria for the award was Helping Every Exceptional Lady Succeed (HEELS), which highlighted mothers who have endured and pushed through many trials and tribulations, while also shining a light on their dependents and their community.
“The evening was draped in ceremony and we are so very proud of Corinda for her achievement,” exclaimed Paul Catlett, media liaison at Corinda’s security company.
“Corinda is a trailblazing businesswoman with over 30 years of experience, who has dedicated her life to protecting and serving her community.”
Paul continued by exclaiming that as the founder and driving force behind the company, Corinda has transformed her business into a formidable and competitive security company.
“While her primary focus lies in ensuring the safety of others, her passion extends far beyond security concerns. Corinda is a compassionate advocate for victim support, locating missing persons, and combating domestic violence, actively contributing to organisations like Civilian Crime Intervention Network (CCIN) and the Vulnerable Citizen Support Initiative as an executive member. Additionally, she takes immense pride in overseeing the CCIN’s Operational Communication Centre in the West Rand’s security division,” added Paul.
As a mother who faced adversity, Corinda cherishes her son, Lee, who shares her love for dogs. Together, they operate a registered K9 unit, providing training for both security professionals and civilians alike.
Corinda’s unwavering determination and empowering message to women everywhere is clear: ‘Never underestimate your capabilities and always stand your ground, as you are just as capable, if not more, than any man’.
