Adele de Lange: Prinsipaal en eienaar van Aïda Tzaneen, Kidz2Play, The Flower Pot en ma van drie woelige seuns. Dié dinamiese vrou bestuur alle aspekte van genoemde besighede, sonder om te kla of te murmureer. Haar grootste bate wat sy beskikbaar stel aan Aïda is integriteit, lojaliteit, oop hande en ‘n oop hart. Hierdie vrou se linkerhand hou nie terug nie - sy gee sonder die verwagting om te ontvang. Dit doen sy alles en sy is nog bloedjonk, sê haar personeel. Willem Oosthuizen vertel graag die
volgende: Adele het twaalf jaar by die fabriek van Letaba Furniture of Africa, ‘n familiesaak met meer as 300 personeellede, gewerk. Tydens die twaalf jaar het sy haar menseverhoudings opgebou en Aïda Tzaneen en die gemeenskap sal die vrugte pluk van haar diensbaarheid en persoonlike aanslag teenoor alle mense. Adele se toekomsverwagting is om Aïda Tzaneen te bedryf as ‘n hegte, vriendskaplike, openlike besigheid. Professionele dienslewering en bystand sal altyd daar wees vir die personeel, kliënte (kopers, verkopers & huurders). Sy is tans besig om die hoogste kwalifikasie in die eiendomsbedryf te voltooi. Tzaneen het nog ‘n vroulike wenner in Adele. Welgedaan, Adele!

Ms Hendra Gouws was born and raised in Tzaneen and she attended Ben Vorster High School. About ten years ago the Gouws family started a small florist business in Tzaneen, called Blomskuur.

Today the business has succeeded where others have failed. Gouws is
very creative and passionate about plants, thus there is no job too big or too small for her to take on. Gouws has a degree in arts from the University of Potchefstroom. She is a member of the South African Flower Union (SAFU) and qualified as a floral designer in 2006. Gouws is panel head of demonstrators and a demonstrator teacher.

Rachelle Slabbert 5 Douglas Street, Premier Park
015 307 7101 or 083 630 3604
Rachelle is die mees ongelooflike kollega, vriendin en sussie waarvoor enigeen kan vra! Sussie & Vriendin: Sy het ‘n liefdeshart wat almal om haar verlig. Daar straal soveel vreugde uit haar dat dit vir ander aansteeklik kan wees. Kollega: Haar kreatiewe hande staan vir niks verkeerd nie en sy leef haar passie en liefde sigbaar uit. Sy is altyd bereidwillig om te help. Dan het sy nog ook ‘n formidabele sakebrein en haar gereedheid vir n u w e
uitdagings is ‘n regte inspirasie. Sy is die hartklop van Grandeur Place met haar passie en toewyding. Dit is weliswaar so dat almal wat met haar in aanraking kom by Grandeur Place, veranderd wegstap. Dit is niks vreemd vir gelukkige kliente wat terugkom om haar op te soek nie. Die hartlikheid waarmee sy met mense kommunikeer, maak kontak met haar die moeite werd. Sy is ‘n vrou duisend wat nog groot hoogtes gaan bereik want haar hart sit op die regte plek. Gee haar die nodige ruimte en sy sal dit tot almal se genot vul.

Nina van Heerden
Like many businesses Zenelle’s Day Spa, as it is known today, started off as a beauty salon in February 2009 by Zelda Pretorius — who named the business after her daughter Zenelle. It has since grown to be a well known day spa in our area. Zelda is a qualified cosmetologist and she offers beauty as well as therapeutic treatments. Zelda has worked at various day spas in the country and her greatest accomplishment by far was starting her own
business, which she has turned into a success. Her daugher is her main inspiration. Her skills and experience have made her the strongest, dedicated woman I know by far. She is a hard working cosmetologist and she always gives her best at all times. Her warm friendly personality is always a winner with our clients and I think that’s what makes her a successful business woman. Please keep up the good work so the people in Tzaneen stay calm, relaxed and well-groomed. Happy Women’s Day....

business) in a friendly business agreement. They have worked together to build their business to becoming what it is today and they are the proud employers of a small but growing team of staff. The Angel Project started off as a farfetched dream and Mareyna had doubts that it would ever materialise. While simply doing what she loved - spending time and effort on the well-being of children less fortunate, she soon saw doors open in the wake of her persistence, lone away by donations of community members and churches. She now works hand in hand with a pastor to collect donations and teaching children religious life lessons.

By Mosaïek sal jy die nuutste Christelike CD’s, DVD’s en ook Christian Art-produkte kry. Daar is ook ‘n lekker hoekie waar jy in ‘n rustige atmosfeer jouself kan bederf met iets om te eet en te drink. Manie, Elize se man, sê: “Elize se hande staan vir niks verkeerd nie, haar hande is altyd besig. Sy het altyd slim werkbare idees en glo stilsit is tydmors. (As haar
idees opraak, verf sy ‘n muur of herrangskik haar winkel!) “Sy is ‘n baie talentvolle vrou. Sy skilder en maak baie van die kunsitems in haar winkel self. Sy het ook onlangs haar tweede gospel CD opgeneem. Dit word 10 en 11 September vrygestel en sal ook dan by Mosaïek beskikbaar wees. “Elize is in November 2010 aangewys as een van tien finaliste vir die tydskrif Leef se ‘Vroue met ‘n hart wat omgee’. Wat maak Elize suksesvol? God se Genade en sy leef haar talente en gawes uit, en maak wat sy aanpak haar passie. Haar hart is om ‘n verskil te maak in die lewens van ander — en is dit nie maar waaroor die lewe gaan nie?”
