We posed a few questions so we can get to know her better.

1. Who is Busisiwe?

Busisiwe is a passionate, dynamic young woman who believes in the pursuit of her goals. A dreamer, a self-starter, a trailblazer!

2. What is your line of work and how did you get into it?

I am a Business Development Manager for an Operational Company specialising in Facilities Management & Security Services. Although I am a qualified Property Manager, I have always had a passion for marketing & sales which also speaks to my drive as an Entrepreneur.

3. What motivated you to be an entrepreneur, and how has the journey been from the beginning until now?

5. What is your take about women in business?

Women in business are often faced with a series of challenges as we often have to find a balancing act in our many roles. However, with the right support systems, there is a great potential to thrive as women are natural nurturers & don't easily give up.
