Event Details

A signature event on the Pietermaritzburg & Midlands Chamber of Business calendar of annual events, the PMCB Women in Business Luncheon, scheduled for August 4th at Maritzburg College, features inspiration and fun in equal measure.


Come along and be inspired by our Guest Speaker, award-winning author and chef Mogau Seshoene aka The Lazy Makoti - she's South Africa's answer to Jamie Oliver and she'll be sharing her recipe for entrepreneurial success. You'll also enjoy some comedic relief from South Africa's funniest woman comedian, Krijay Govender - after all, humour is key ingredient in creative thinking!


Guests are encouraged to embrace this year's theme: "Recipes for Success" by dressing to showcase individual success i.e. "what success looks like for me".


There'll be networking galore and loads of lucky draw prizes to liven up proceedings over a sumptuous lunch lubricated with plenty of wine. No need for FOMO, booking is easy - just click on the "Register" button or contact Nondumiso on (033) 3452747 or by email here.
