eing a pathfinder is to be willing to risk failure and still go on, says Gail Sheehy.

Playing on the surname of my guest, “Ndlela” which is IsiZulu meaning a physical path, or the way you do something or a manner a person conducts themselves, their style or behaviour. Whichever meaning you ascribe her surname, Siphesihle, called Sihle for short, Penny Ndlela has her own unique, distinguishable way of moving through this Life.

Sihle originally hails from Empangeni, in Northern KwaZulu Natal, but grew up in eSikhawini in Richard’s Bay. Penny says #money has never been the driver for the ventures she pursues in business because it comes in abundance when you find purpose. Sihle is a serial #entrepreneur.

In the late 1990s she joined Lemon & Lime, a customised gifting company which evolved into an integrated communications and marketing #business. Penny bought out her partner in 2000 and later exited and sold the business in 2009. In 2013, Penny started Soul Traveller, a faith-based travelling experience for the black market in South Africa. It was her first #tourism venture and became a member of the #Thebe Tourism group first group #travel tour operator in South Africa focused on the domestic market.

Hope you have enjoy this Powerhouse from #SouthAfrica, and that this conversation has inspires you.

Until next time, when we speak to a wise #African on #Wisdom Personified Conversations with #DuduMsomi
