FAIRLADY and Santam are once again calling for three amazing women who have taken the leap to work for themselves and are now creating opportunities for others - and boosting our economy!
The Women of The Year is now its fourth running and aims to honour more women who are impacting South Africa positively.
FAIRLADY editor, Suzy Brokensha explains, "South African women are such an impressive bunch – each year I’m blown away by what our entrants have achieved, and not only in “traditional” female businesses like design and PR. They’ve done everything – from starting giant construction firms to filling transport gaps with innovative ideas and a whole host of other genius businesses along the way. They are amazing."
