“Teach Us Leadership”: SA Woman Flexes Shipping Company in China Impressing Locals

• A local woman turned doubt into drive after being told she couldn't open a company in China and now runs her shipping empire there
• She posted a powerful multi-scene video on TikTok showing her journey from telling a man about her dream to running her own company with offices, suppliers and sealed containers
• Social media users praised her focus and leadership, calling her an inspiration for women, and asking how they could support or learn from her business

A South African queen gave her followers a real-life masterclass in boss moves and big dreams, with her story of pushing beyond boundaries.

The woman, TikTok user @thandichina, shared her transformation, and social media users flooded the comment section with respect, love, and many business questions.

Woman shows shipping glow-up

The clip begins with @thandichina in front of the mirror, filming a casual selfie with on-screen text explaining how she once told a man she wanted to start a company in China, but he said foreigners couldn't. Fast forward a few clips, and she's in full boss mode: sitting in her office, linking with suppliers, managing loads of sealed goods, and finalising shipping papers.

The video ends with a shot of her standing beside a packed container, ready to go. The transition from a dreamer to an international businesswoman is smooth, stylish, and super motivational.

The clip had social media clapping and congratulating the businesswoman. Many users, especially women, shared how proud they were and how much they needed to see someone doing what she did in a whole different country. Her journey gave her boss energy vibes, and people called her leadership serious goals.

Some users were curious about the shipping process, and others wanted to buy from China and asked if she could help. Others said it was more than just a cool video; it was proof that black excellence and global hustle can go hand in hand.
