Author Quotes
It’s been an interesting entrepreneurial journey, and we are still going and still growing, and I believe I have a story to share.
Entrepreneurial Success: Growing Business in a Fluid Economy encompasses principles, insights and lessons that I learned over the decades, from starting off as an intrapreneur to becoming an entrepreneur and celebrated CEO of a leading security company that has established a solid footprint within the region.
This book is not just about SECURICO but it is also about the lessons I learned on my journey as an intrapreneur and entrepreneur, and it is my desire that these nuggets of insight will help develop the next generation of African leaders in business.
As leaders become more seasoned in business, their immediate assignment is to share their experiences with others and groom the next generation of leaders who will lift the continent out of poverty through entrepreneurial solutions.

Why LoA loves it…
One of the key traits that distinguishes truly successful women entrepreneurs is their vision and determination - to not only build sustainable, high-growth businesses that create jobs and contribute to the economic growth of their countries and communities; but also to share their knowledge and wisdom with the next generation of women entrepreneurs who are inspired to follow in their footsteps. Dr Divine Simbi-Ndhlukula is a powerful example of this and other success traits in action. She has encountered major challenges and setbacks on her decades-long entrepreneurial journey, overcoming them all, and has always remained true to her vision and determination to succeed and make an impact. Her new book is truly inspirational, and if you only read one motivational book on entrepreneurship this year, make this the one! — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
