122: Being a Force for Good | Lesego Holzapfel & Ezanne Gouws

Lesego Holzapfel is the founder of Bokomoso Impact Investments who dedicates her life to empowering communities and promoting diversity and inclusion emanating from a deep place of gratitude.
Ezanne Gouws grew up in wine industry in South Africa and is a trained
wine maker and serial entrepreneur.
Lesego and Ezanne met only a year ago on a course they attended virtually and immediately realised that they shared a passion for servant leadership.
They started Kai Wine together as an amalgamation of two unique cultures refined with the diversity of their life experiences and infused with their deep passion for people. They are both very proud of South Africa and helping the rest of the world understand its true capabilities.
Lesego’s charity (founded with her husband) called ‘Raise the Children’ offers scholarships for high performing orphans, as she too was an orphan. The charity assists those from the townships with their education and social mobility in the workplace. Lesego also talks about her struggles as an orphan and her incredible passion for promoting the indigenous beekeeping capabilities as an important commodity whereby South Africa can play its part in saving the honeybee population while promoting education through agriculture and sustainability by aiming to have 1 million beehives locally owned and operated in the poorest regions by 2025.
This is a deeply personal and inspiring episode of two very different social entrepreneurs who want to be a force for good within the communities in South Africa and beyond.
