As its Women’s month in South Africa I thought it an appropriate time to take stock of how us girls are doing in business. I’ve noticed that more of our clients are women, and am pleased to report that the General Manager of Carling Black Label – the largest beer brand (by volume) in South Africa – is a woman. So while its heartening to see how women in South Africa are climbing up the corporate ladder and taking their rightful place alongside men in business, I can’t help but wonder why – according to a year on year census conducted by the Business Women’s Association for the last 8 years – women are still underrepresented in business.
