LIMPOPO – Entrepreneur Dorothy Moyo is making waves in Limpopo’s industrial sector after winning the Inaugural Limpopo Business Awards, hosted recently at The Ranch Resort by Standard Bank South Africa and Limpopo Provincial Government.

Her company, Twothy Business Solution, has been instrumental in the mining and quarrying industry, providing services in steel fabrication, structural installation and maintenance, as well as valve and pump repairs to key clients including Mogalakwena Complex.

Alongside a prestigious trophy and title, Moyo walked away with R85 000 in prize money, sponsored by Standard Bank – funds she plans to reinvest into her business by purchasing new machinery to boost production.

“I haven’t digested the win yet. It feels like a dream,” she said, overwhelmed by emotion. “This is my biggest award so far, and to be chosen out of 167 hardworking nominees is a huge deal.”

Moyo stressed the personal sacrifices and challenges of entrepreneurship.

“Sometimes we don’t have money to cater for everything within our businesses, but recognition like this fuels us to keep going. Remember, ‘poverty is a state of mind.’”

This isn’t her first major accolade – she also took home the Limpopo Businesswoman of the Year Award and topped the Women in Mining category at the 2020 Limpopo Business Women Awards.
