Close to 20 attendees engaged in inspiring talks from influential female leaders, participated in interactive networking sessions, and explored a vibrant marketplace showcasing impressive women-led brands. They also had the opportunity to discover hair care products available in the store.
Rethabile Kau, Hirsch's public relations officer, emphasised the importance of embracing femininity and unlocking the true potential of women in the workplace. 'Often, industries, particularly entrepreneurship, are dominated by men. It's essential to shed those masculine traits and embrace your true self. Today's event is about channelling the boss lady within you, rather than conforming to a male archetype. It's about recognising the strength in softness. The brands participating align perfectly with women's month, and I'm thrilled about that.'
Kau highlighted that events like this are crucial for building a strong community and empowering women.
Among the speakers was Mahlodi Kgatle, a renowned public speaking coach and founder of Speakingdom, who encouraged women to be bold and realise their potential. 'I was nominated for awards for excelling in my field, yet I felt a nagging sense of discontent. I was showing up, but something was still lacking. Today, I urge you to reach for your full potential as women stepping into your power.
'All of us face challenges that can feel overwhelming, as if we're carrying the weight of the world. However, we must remain focused on being purpose-driven individuals. If the burdens we carry hinder us from fulfilling our true purpose, then we are missing the mark. It's crucial to embrace our beauty and strength, to feel capable of conquering the world, while ensuring we're aligned with our mission.'
This networking opportunity is not just a one-time affair; it serves as a foundation for ongoing support among entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Has Miss SA 2025 been cancelled?
Rumours are swirling that the 2025 Miss South Africa (Miss SA) pageant has been canned after coming under new ownership. However, organisers have insisted that this isn't the case, despite an official date not being set. The speculation comes amid the resignation of former CEO Stephanie Weil, who recently stepped down after helming the company since 2019. The pageant has yet to announce the Top 30 finalists. This week, Miss SA organisers confirmed that the pageant would go ahead this year, albeit at a later date. 'That's not correct', spokesperson Kenneth Makhanya said this week. In a press statement last month, organisers said the event would take place later in 2025 to 'ensure the alignment with international and other global events.' When does the Miss SA 2025 take place? Images via Instagram: @official_misssa It added: 'The organisation, through its affiliated companies, aims to broaden the reach and impact of the pageant and its contestants. Organisers stated that the pageant would be rebranded to include the pillars of entrepreneurship, job creation, cultural awareness, and social cohesion. The Miss SA organisation now forms part of the Motsepe Group of Companies, owned by Patrice Motsepe, one of South Africa's wealthiest businessmen. Last month, Africa Fashion International (AFI) – the fashion partner of Miss SA – revealed that it was now the 'sister company' of the beauty pageant. AFI is run by Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe, the wife of Patrice Motsepe. Miss SA was previously owned by Stephanie Weil's Weil Entertainment, who succeeded Sun International's reign. Meanwhile, South Africans and pageant fans are wondering who will represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant, which takes place on 21 November in Thailand. If a new Miss SA is not crowned in time for the international competition, it's unlikely reigning queen Mia Le Roux will compete again. Last year, the partially-deaf winner dropped out of the competition during the preliminary stages, citing health reasons. DO YOU THINK THE MISS SA PAGEANT HAS RUN ITS COURSE?

From law graduate to entrepreneur, in the face of adversity
Shamentha Naidoo Image: Supplied PIETERMARITZBURG residents and POST readers opened their hearts and wallets to the plight of law graduate Shamentha Naidoo when they turned up in numbers on Luxmi Pooja and Raksha Bandhan, in support of her roadside business. After years of hard work, late nights, and unwavering dedication, Naidoo, 26, of Raisethorpe proudly graduated with a law degree from UKZN, in 2020, and was ready to enter the legal profession. But life had other plans. Faced with her mother's worsening illness, she made the courageous decision to put her legal career on hold and start a home-based business - Blooming Platter. She hopes the business, which she started two weeks ago, will not only provide for her family, but give her the flexibility to be present for her mom. Naidoo was proud to see that residents from Raisethorpe and surrounding areas in Pietermaritzburg supported her during Lakshmi Pooja and Raksha Bandhan at her stall on Friday and Saturday. 'Everything was sold out in record time. Despite advertising since mid-July, people only secured orders after my post on Facebook. Even more people reached out after the article on the POST website and social media pages. This showed me the power of social media. 'It makes me feel hopeful especially since I have been working on this for a while. It reinforces that anything is possible if you work hard enough and if you choose to follow your passion. Both mum and I were overcome with emotion because so many people had reached out both with kindness and such great support,' said Naidoo. Video Player is loading.

Image: Supplied Since her graduation, Naidoo has completed her Master's in law and took on flexible roles in academics at universities where she could. 'My parents had me late in life. I was their miracle baby. I have no siblings or extended family. My father passed away in 2019 at age 72. He suffered from dementia. 'My mother, who is 70, has many illnesses. She has mobility issues since she had a stroke three years ago and she is blind. Since last year, she has been getting worse.' She said she never lived a lavish lifestyle, with her father working part-time jobs and her mother being a housewife. 'I always wanted to do well, which is why I studied hard. To take care of my mother, I worked as a tutor and lecturer for UKZN and DUT, using my academics to help me. 'However, circumstances have changed, and I've now taken on the role of her full-time caregiver. Because of this, I've had to stop working as my mother only has me and we do not have any friends nor family.' Naidoo said they currently relied on her mom's old age pension. 'I need flexibility. I am alone. I will not put my mother in a home and caregivers are not an option because it costs money, which we do not have. Since my parents had me late, and my mother is much older, I know my time with her is limited, I will not sacrifice her for money.' Naidoo said she looked for remote work but jobs were scarce. 'I like business law. I have drafted contracts before, serving at places for free to gain experience, and I would like to work in an office one day but it is not possible right now." Hence, the Blooming Platter business was started just last week. 'The name of my business is because I see myself as a flower that has yet to bloom. I have been stagnant in my career but now I have the confidence to start blooming, beginning with this business, which I started with my savings. 'I do not have anyone to rely on, so from the money I got from tutoring and lecturing, I put it towards this business. Some kind people have also contributed towards my ingredients.' She said she learned to cook from an early age because her mother could no longer help. 'I taught myself to cook and make sweetmeats. My mother could not help much because of her vision. It has been many years since I have had my mother's cooking.' One day Naidoo hopes to diversify her business, not only selling food products. 'I would like to expand my business to build and sell other services, using my academics to hopefully one day help others. 'Many people always say, 'you were top of your class, you should have moved to Johannesburg and taken your mother' but it is not that simple. I have no support system besides my mother, so I cannot just take that leap.'

Get your smart ID at these banks – Here's how
Get your smart ID at these banks – Here's how South Africans no longer have to rely solely on Home Affairs offices to apply for a Smart ID card. Through the eHomeAffairs system, several major banks — including Absa, Capitec, Discovery Bank, FNB, Investec, Nedbank, and Standard Bank — now offer the service at selected branches, with plans for a major expansion in the coming years. How does it work? Apply and book: Complete your application online via the Home Affairs eHomeAffairs portal, then book your branch visit. No walk-ins allowed.

Payment must be made via the same bank whose branch you selected for your appointment. Collect Your document: Your Smart ID or passport will be ready for collection from the same branch, typically within a few weeks. New digital path (for Capitec & FNB): Soon, you'll be able to apply directly via your banking app, without needing to visit a branch—Home Affairs calls this the 'digital-first' or 'Home Affairs @ Home' model. The Department of Home Affairs and partner banks plan to expand the number of branches offering the service to 100 by March 2026 and 1,000 by March 2029. This expansion is possible because banks already have the biometric fingerprint and facial recognition systems needed for secure processing, allowing Home Affairs to integrate directly into their infrastructure. What you'll need for a first-time Smart ID application According to the Department of Home Affairs, the required documents — and whether a fee applies — depend on your age and circumstances.
