Londiwe Ndwandwe Ngcobo on carving a path to success

She chats to us about her business journey and how she's been able to carve her own path to success. I studied marketing and events management but was more passionate about events, which has been of great value to the positioning of Andimahle Building Events. After graduating, I travelled before settling on a career path. I studied in the UK, where I stayed for four years, while working two jobs as a receptionist and at a nursing home.

On returning to South Africa in 2007, I worked in government as an admin clerk for a year to build my resume and have an understanding of the workspace here at home. During the 2010 World Cup, I set up my first business in construction and later ventured into events planning and management. I come from a family of successful entrepreneurs. My grandfather was my main inspiration. His success inspired me to one day expand on his business acumen and be a force in my own space.

People think events are glamorous. But planning and execution involves a lot of hard work. You have to get your hands dirty and feet wet.Late payments are always a challenge and, at times, limit growth. From early on in the business, I wanted to have my own infrastructure so I wouldn’t be forced to hire from others, as it meant seeking equipment from your competitors. I’m a perfectionist, so these challenges irritated me as they compromised my work quality.
