"Welcoming my 10th award. This time it’s not for Ladydu but my baby @wawalabeauty1. Last year, we won CEO of the year at the Basadi Awards. This year, my salon was honoured as one of the best township luxury businesses in the hair and beauty space. I cry because God always picks me. I have never applied for any space anywhere, but I’m always recognised by people who are complete strangers to me.
"Don’t stop working!!!!! Continue your journey even when you feel like giving up.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making all my businesses a success. I love all of you nonke guys. Even the ones that are negative, y’all have helped shape me into the woman I am today," she wrote.
