Biography
Having being mentored by the third former President of Botswana Dr Festus Mogae, I was able to realise that mentors are pivotal in nurturing talents of start-up entrepreneurs especially women. Hence my success in identifying opportunities in manufacturing has been fruitful by establishing the support structure I enjoyed from my business partner. I am also passionate about women and youth participation including disadvantaged people whom I recognize their potential in moving this country forward. I respect the saying “disability is not inability’’.
My position in WIBA provides a forum where I will be able to present the WIBA members in negotiating with potential business partners especially that I have the right negotiation prowess. My role in trade mission will make sure that information is disseminated properly within the WIBA network, especially where the country representatives such as embassies and consular, export and trade entities are concerned. My wish to make sure that women owned businesses grow at incremental scales to a point that they expand beyond our borders. This will be facilitated by interconnections already established by WIBA.
