“The family is the building block of society. To achieve a better life for all, the South African family must take back the power it gave away so carelessly.”
Join me, a second generation family business owner in Soweto, on my journey as I explore how Township based family businesses can learn from the wisdom and insight success has brought these multi-generational business families, and adapt this knowledge to our own environment of business.
Announcing KiPiDi ShortCourses
My latest offering. A micro learning platform designed specifically for SME business owners in the South African township environment.
My new book
START.MANAGE.GROW. is a step-by-step guide designed for township entrepreneurs navigating the realities of starting, managing, and expanding a business in South Africa’s informal and formal economies. With practical exercises, real-world insights, and actionable strategies, this workbook serves as both a companion and a roadmap for those determined to move beyond survival mode.
For Amanda, entrepreneurship is not a choice but an imperative. If township businesses are to compete, thrive, and create generational wealth, entrepreneurs must embrace the disciplines of strategy, financial management, and execution. This workbook equips them to do just that.
No one is coming to save us. It’s time to build.
My workbook is available on Gumroad as a downloadable eBook.
My second book

Championing entrepreneurship as an enduring response to joblessness, Amanda introduces the reader to the foundational knowledge required of the startup entrepreneur. From ideation to action planning, startup entrepreneurs will find a toolbox full of the essential concepts to guide them along their journey to success.
My book is available from Lifestyle Books, Entrance 2, Shop #1, Maponya Mall, Soweto, as well as Gumroad as a downloadable eBook.
My first book
Business Families | Someone has to lead introduces the SME family business to the vast body of knowledge developed over many years by family business commentators, academics, practitioners and owners. The text is introductory in nature, providing a framework within which the SME family business can develop an understanding of what successful wealthy family business owners have known for many years – how to maintain harmony, continuity and prosperity within the business family.
While written primarily with the SME family business in mind, the text is well referenced providing the more informed reader with an opportunity to delve deeper and explore in greater detail the sources that helped inform my journey.
