Highlights: Global Expansion for South African Female-Led Enterprises Unfolding

In South Africa, businesswoman, brand, and economic strategist Vuyelwa Nyakaza is on a mission to build globally relevant businesses. She believes that local entrepreneurs, particularly women, are producing goods and services of an international standard.

This shared belief is at the heart of the #SheOwnsHerSuccess campaign, which aims to empower local entrepreneurs, especially women, to see themselves as capable of operating at an international level. The campaign, anchored in the concept "I Have the Algorithm", provides a platform for top women leaders, including Nyakaza, to share their stories and inspire others.

The #SheOwnsHerSuccess campaign, now in its seventh season, is run by Momentum. It focuses on empowering local entrepreneurs, particularly women, and believes in the international standard of goods and services produced by these entrepreneurs. The campaign aims to help them see new possibilities for themselves and to break down any perceived barriers to success.

Nyakaza acknowledges that many local entrepreneurs, especially women, do not know or believe they are capable of operating at an international level. She is determined to change this mindset and to showcase the potential of South African businesses on the global stage.

The "I Have the Algorithm" initiative within the #SheOwnsHerSuccess campaign has seen three significant women share their success stories. However, these women are not publicly specified at this time.

By providing a platform for women leaders to share their stories and by focusing on empowering local entrepreneurs, the #SheOwnsHerSuccess campaign aligns with Nyakaza's mission to build globally relevant businesses. Through her work and the campaign, Nyakaza aims to build businesses based in South Africa that can compete on the international stage.
