African Awards for Entrepreneurship Grand prize winner 2011,Divine Ndhlukula recently expressed her insights towards achieving success and making progress in life,she urged on women who crave for good living to come out and put in hard work in their businesses, jobs and daily activities.
She said,”Women entrepreneurs have to work twice as hard to succeed. They should expect certain difficulties to crop up merely due to the fact that they are women. In such situations the best thing to do is to remain resolute, focused, ethical and preserve your integrity.”
