Influential Women in South Africa


Nothing excites me than seeing people make it in life. I’m one of those people that are always searching for successful people in their industries from motivation. I love being motivated by what others are doing out there. You don’t have to be born in a family where there is already a legacy you can start one for your kids and grand kids. With some people they didn't have to join political parties to make it. They went to school just like you and I and worked their way up. I look up to most South African Women and I've compiled a list of those that I admire.
