With unemployment levels in South Africa at a whopping 33% - one of the highest rates in Sub-Saharan Africa, many people turn to starting their own businesses in an effort to make a living. But what does it take to be an entrepreneur and, in particular, a female entrepreneur?

In the latest episode of Mindful Living, host Izelle Hoffman talks to two entrepreneurs who’ve taken the brave step to start their own business.

Alesimo Mwanga and Joy Sibanyoni are two of a trio of dynamic women who run a sustainability agency called, PAWA Africa. They aim to help accelerate the success of South African women-led businesses by championing the urgent mandate of helping close the financing gap that currently exists for female entrepreneurs in South Africa.
