SOUTH AFRICAN BUSINESS WOMAN OF THE YEAR INSPIRES LOCAL BUSINESS WOMEN.

South Africa’s Business Woman of the year, (entrepreneur) Margaret Hirsch was the guest speaker  at a  “Women in Business” breakfast last Thursday at the Ascot Conference Centre. Margaret inspired the women telling them how she and husband Allan had built a successful business starting with only R900 in their pockets, 2 children and no income.  She said that hard work and dedication is the key to success and reminded the audience that it is important to have a passion for what you do and to believe in yourself. Chairlady of  PMB’s Women in Business Ali Engelbrecht, thanked Margaret for taking the time to speak at the function, and said how proud everyone was to have a Pietermaritzburg girl honoured with such an exclusive title. Hirsch PRO, Victoria Laubscher handed out some of Margaret’s Cook books – At Home With Hirsch’s and Living The Vegetarian Life to people in the audience and Margaret explained her motives and inspiration in writing them.
