In more news about women breaking business barriers, Briefly News wrote about Sithabile Mazibuko of Newcastle, who wowed Mzansi with her entrepreneurial drive and her absolutely divine ice-creams. Pictures of her treats have South Africans drooling as they head into summer.
It's not hard to see Mazibuko as an inspiration as she literally "started from the bottom" and took the steps needed to pursue her dream and rake in the cash.
Fear and doubt are expected but that didn't stop this powerhouse as she used the little resources she had to open her business.
Images of her ice-creams had social media buzzing as people flooded to the comments section on a post shared by Briefly News to show support or find out where they can get their sweet treat.
