On 26 August 2025, The Ridge Shopping Centre came alive with energy, collaboration, and empowerment as Golden Tiger Realtors hosted a special Women’s Month Business Networking Event. The gathering brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across different industries to celebrate women’s achievements and strengthen ties within the local business community.
The event was organised by Entrepreneur and GBV Activist, Aladia Moodley. She envisioned the networking session as a platform where women and allies in business could exchange ideas, gain inspiration, and create meaningful partnerships. Moodley emphasised that the initiative was not only about celebrating Women’s Month but also about building long-term connections that drive growth and success.
One of the highlights of the programme was a keynote address by Rethabile Mohlala, Founder and CEO of TechDailyPost, DameConcepts, an award winning Marketing & Advertising Agency and Talk Radio host on 919FM. Mohlala spoke passionately about the evolving power of radio advertising and how integrated radio (IR) campaigns continue to deliver impactful results in a digital-first world. He highlighted how radio’s reach, when combined with online strategies, offers businesses unique opportunities to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
The atmosphere throughout the day was one of collaboration and inspiration. Business owners shared their experiences, exchanged contacts, and discussed future opportunities to work together. The event was also a celebration of resilience – highlighting how women continue to rise, despite challenges, to make their mark in business and leadership.
“Radio remains one of the most trusted mediums in South Africa,” Mohlala explained. “When we combine it with integrated campaigns that use digital and community engagement, we don’t just advertise – we build lasting connections that grow BRANDS and businesses.”
His address sparked engaging discussions among attendees, many of whom were eager to learn how to apply these strategies to their own ventures.
Attendee Renee Singh captured the spirit of the day, saying: “Absolutely great insight from different business backgrounds. Indeed we rise together and conquer our shared dreams, visions, goals and achievements.”
The networking session brought together a diverse range of brands and businesses, including BMW NORTHCLIFF, Nedbank, Telkom, Aquazania, Body Whisperer,
Afrodite Essence, Voix, Planet Fitness, FindIt4U, David Swanepoel Attorneys, Wow Projects, and 361 Tranquil Touch, reflecting the broad spectrum of industries represented and the collaborative spirit of the event. These brands contributed to a dynamic environment where knowledge, experience, and business opportunities were freely shared.
Golden Tiger Realtors noted that the event was just the beginning of a bigger movement to support and empower women entrepreneurs in the community. By providing spaces where professionals can meet, learn, and collaborate, the organisers aim to ensure that the momentum of Women’s Month continues long after August.
With strong turnout, powerful insights, and a shared commitment to progress, the networking event stood as a shining example of what can be achieved when businesses come together to uplift and inspire.
