Entrepreneur of the week

Basetsana Kumalo

BasetsanaKumalo (37) was introduced to us in 1994 as Miss South Africa right at the time when our country was going through some incredible changes. The title that most believe is associated with only attending sophisticated events and looking pretty, Basetsana used as a tool to assist our country by getting involved in community projects. The entrepreneur discipline was instilled in her from a very young age as she used to sell sandwiches at local matches with her siblings, it is no wonder she is regarded as the most influential entrepreneurs in our country. From beauty queen to a Top Billing presenter and a diploma in Marketing, she is now a role model for young girls in the country. She is involved in a number of businesses in which she partnered with women, from travel, eyewear, cosmetics, television, property to mining, “Bassie” dominating.
