This Women’s Month was celebrated with Royalty here at MOKOPANE. Making it an exceptional and exciting event.
From cleaning offices, to currently being a top graduate from the University of Cambridge Scholarship Recipient in the Sustainable Development Goals : Law and Policy certification. HRH Princess Eurika Mogane, learnt early in life that things aren’t easy and one needs to be committed above average in order to make it.
Women and men came from different parts of South Africa to converge in Mokopane, at the Park Hotel for an evening filled with motivational speakers and practical skills for attendees to start applying in their businesses.
- The Origins
The Phetogo Property Group hosts annual Women’s Empowerment Seminars. The vision was founded by Ms. Ntsadi Lebelo, who was born and bred in the Mokopane area. She saw the need to bring notable leaders in various industries to converge in one space, with the aim of sharing like-minded information and to find ways of combating poverty in our areas.
The event theme is “It’s All About Me!” focusing on ways to bring empowerment and a sense of accountability to all those who attended the event.
“Our people are passionate about starting and growing their businesses, but only few are disciplined and skilled enough to make them sustainable. This event aims to equip us all with the tools needed to build lasting legacies,” said Ms. Ntsadi Lebelo.
- On the day of the Event:
The key topics covered on the day were, Women in Finance, Women in Leadership, Women as Community Pioneers and the Key Note Speaker was Her Royal Highness Princess Eurika Mogane.
Business owners were encouraged to seek help from their banks to ensure that they are always in line with the law. They were reminded of the importance of keeping a paper trail and ensuring that they live to grow the vision and not just to fill their pockets.
“Be comfortable with knowing who you are and what you’re capable of doing – while also being honest with what you can’t do. Most businesses fail because someone wanted to do everything themselves, instead of delegating. You’ll and more productive if you know how to manage your time, resources and also be honest with your strengths and weaknesses.” Said a beaming Princess Eurika Mogane.
This was the Third Annual Women’s Empowerment Seminar and it is set to bring more upliftment and transformation for women to enter and grow even in male dominated industries.
“The rise of women, shouldn’t mean the fall of men. We must learn from them as they have been in leadership longer than us.” Concluded Princess Eurika Mogane.
