As Founder of Mbasane Women in IT, my mission is to empower young South African women to excel in the competitive world of technology. South Africa's alarming unemployment rate, exacerbated by the global gender gap in tech, presents formidable challenges. I am driven to harness the power of skills development and technology as catalysts for change. By cultivating exceptional talent and creating opportunities, we can foster a more inclusive and prosperous future.

My passion for this work has been recognized with multiple Passion Awards from the SA Homeloans Sekela Program, and I was honored to be named one of KZN's Top Business Women in 2022. This consistent validation fuels my commitment to creating a lasting impact.

From a pool of 6342 applicants, only 103 were selected for the prestigious TechWomen 2024 Emerging Leader program, and I am honored to be one of the five chosen from South Africa. This extraordinary achievement further validates the importance of our work and fuels my determination. My journey is not about personal accolades, but about building a robust foundation for the women I serve.

Through the TechWomen program, I aim to equip myself with the tools and knowledge essential to expand our reach both nationally and internationally.

I look forward to embarking on this journey with these phenomenal women; Apiwe Hotele, Dr Emma Molobi (Pr.Eng, IWE), Ntokozo (Happy) Msiza - Cand.Sci.Nat and Sarah McEwan.

On this day last year, we wrapped up an 8 month long Mentoring and Coaching Programme that were entrusted with by one of our clients for a group of very energetic, hardworking and successful SMME's.

It was a beautiful journey to walk with these guys, I learnt a lot from them and I miss our engagements.

Ex*****on of this project in partnership with an Action COACH Business Coaching- KZN Marlene Powell was and will always remain one of my proud moments.
