I co own a logistics business with my husband which we started in the early 2005 and in 2010 we got an opportunity to start working at the Uti now Dsv Parmaceutical,We are known as Owner Drivers at Dsv our duty is transporting medication across Sa ..before Covid our business had grown and we were owning 7 bakkies but then after Covid business dropped a lot and now were are starting again with 2 bakkies .we are not giving up we are working hard and we believe 2025 is gonna be a better year cause already from March its been busy with long distance deliveries..i also own a Guesthouse tht i opened in 2022 because its always been a dŕam for me so now am currently occupied with the project of making sure that the house i bought and converted into a guesthouse ,i have 13 rooms inbthe property which i made sure i have comfortable beds and i make sure my place is clean which has attracted business for me cause people like the fact that my place is clean ,private and very safe and secure area ..Both these businesses have built the woman that i am and because of my resilience and the spirit of hustling that i have we have come this far and i am proud and i know my Children will be left with a legacy .and also i entered Mrs Soweto 2023 the first ever and i was a finalist and meant amazing women in the journey
What is your biggest success?
Opening the guesthouse andbit being a baby to the logistics business and seeing the grown in it has made me so proud of myself because i can see i am in the right direction with it because i have done good with marketing cause i have had customers from Freestate,Kimberly, EastenCape,and other proveinces .and i am also big on giving back because in 2024 Sept i hosted a soccer tournament for young boys from the rural area of Eastencape which is where i grew up .the tournament was a succes and i hope in the future its something am going to be able to do yearly
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Biggest hurdle was when we lost 5 bakkies after Covid ,it was a blow because this wasnt just a loss for us but the drivers of the bakkies lost their jobs ,and now having to start again at the bottom with 2 bakkies is not easy but we continue with the business
