The village girl who made it to the UK. How?!

Loading player...
I speak to Ntombi Zwezwe Baartman - she of many hats!!! She is a mother, an entrepreneur, a social worker, a prayer warrior and many more. She owns a catering and events company ZeeZee Events, specialising in South African themed deco.

She speaks to us about her journey to the UK, the challenges she faced and the culture shock.

She reminds us that "never giving up on your dreams and education is the key" is key to achieving that which you want to achieve. She now uses her culture to make a living, her business serves African food as well as African inspired deco in the UK.

She closes off with "Do not be afraid to DREAM and do not be afraid to FAIL"
