VIDEO: Celeb duo to empower women in South Africa
MISSION: Nomzamo Mbatha
Actress Nomzamo Mbatha has joined forces with award-winning sportscaster Carol Tshabalala to empower women.
The dynamic duo has partnered with Hollywoodbets to boost women-owned companies with R1.5 million.
In a short video clip shared on her Instagram page on Monday, Nomzamo invites all female entrepreneurs to grab this opportunity.
“It is a calling of mine, it is a passion of mine, I can do it in my sleep, I do it better when I'm alive, running and pushing to shift the narrative forward to elevate, empower and to uplift the voice of the female,” said Nomzamo.
"I'm overly excited to say that Hollywoodbets have agreed to seed R1.5m into female-owned businesses.
“I want to employ you even if you don't have a business to enter and you need someone who needs the extra push and extra funding to be able to operate in their businesses as we know we've gone through so much as a people, not only locally but internationally through this pandemic, and I know so many businesses have been suffering.”
Through her partnership with Hollywoodbets, Nomzamo’s Lighthouse Foundation previously gave away R1m towards tertiary education for disadvantaged youth.
The company also gave R1.35m to relieve those affected by the pandemic.
