When I was a little girl, I dreamt of being a career woman. At the time, I had no real clue of what a ‘career woman’ actually was, but that ambition led me to become a chartered accountant. this career path allowed me to travel the world and work in amazing places like Washington DC, Texas, and Illinois in the US, Melbourne and Sydney in Australia, as well as China, India and Argentina.
After many years, I returned to South Africa to start a family, settling in Kidd’s Beach in the Eastern Cape. I was excited at the prospect of getting to be a stay-at-home mom and being there for my children. However, over time, I developed an itch to keep busy, so I started day trading with my dad and also opened a small swimming school. When we decided to relocate the family to Port Elizabeth, I was upset as we’d be leaving our lovely housekeeper, Thandi, without employment. Luckily, a business venture would soon change all of this.
