August 2022
Womens month in South Africa is an iconic month, a month where women in all their diversities are celebrated. Yes, women ought to be celebrated every month and they are, mostly. However, August is a month that commemorates 1956’s revolt by women, for women. Women on that day united against an oppressive system. It has earned the slogan, “wathinta umfazi, wathinta imbokodo”! Well, for 2022 we say women are human beings and not rocks. They do not deserve pain and should be treated delicately.
Special Issue
Why build networks? Networks are the best asset a business can have. Through attending networking functions and attending expos you have greater potential to find a new client, customer, or partner. When the network grows, your wisdom grows, and the reach of your business also expands. Business is very tough, so being plugged into a business network assists in also sharing experiences and advice. Yes, you have final say on your business, but your way of thinking is automatically elevated through networking.

Sabelo’s life has been nothing short of being the rising phoenix. Through many failures, hiccups and redirections.
“I have always been an extroverted personality and my stock would continuously be sold out. The reason for my resilience is because I wanted to be independent from a young age” he explains, “my environment was not perfect and I wanted to be free from it. I grew up in a home where there was no warmth and was dysfunctional. I was never told that I had the potential to be anything. Often I was called ‘slima’ and ‘Skhotheni’ growing up”.
Sabelo’s work ethic and grit have constantly brought him back to the top. He is the owner and founder of Capital Lifestyle Lounge, Imvuselelo cash loans and many more businesses.

Ntsindie Nzimande is the
embodiment of class, work ethic
and faith. From a young age, she
discovered that her hands were
skilled in different ways, from hair
to make up and soon became a
specialist in bridal styling.
Working in a salon while in high school, this continued to provide for her even while studying for her social work degree.
So when she didn’t immediately get employment, she was able to teach herself makeup, nails and bridal styling. That is how Beauty by Ntsindie Nzimande began and continues to thrive.

Mbali Bengu tells us about how she got bitten by the agriculture bug at a young age and has been committed to the sector ever since. Mbali was exposed to the field of food agriculture from a young age (16), while volunteering for bigger farmers in the area.
Although there was no remuneration, they often got fresh produce to take home. It was at this point that she got the inspiration and admiration for the field. She recognised the business opportunity and the potential for herself to take it forward.
“I stopped doing it for fun, let me study all of the aspects and treat it as a professional skill.” She thought to herself. Although daunting, considering that there was large investment required and equipment. She did not lose faith.
