Limpopo woman in construction shares updates

Rabelani told Briefly News about her latest achievements, which include employing 35 people and opening a branch of her business in Centurion, Gauteng:

“In December, we decided we are not closing, we are working because the grind does not end. We are working hard. We are not controlled by festivities, we are working and have a lot to still achieve in 2023.”

The businesswoman wants to continue providing sustainable employment to young men and women and growing the rapport of her enterprise.

She also wants to continue giving young ladies a leg-up in the so-called male-dominated world of construction:

“It’s a woman’s company, so I must at least have few women in the company to empower others. They just apply for opportunities via email.”
