Errolene de Klerk from Tantalizing Tableware
Errolene de Klerk’s journey into entrepreneurship began with a personal quest. In 2021, when she couldn’t find a table runner she desired for Mother’s Day, she decided to create her own. This simple act of creativity sparked the birth of Tantalizing Tableware. Errolene’s attention to detail, especially in mastering mitered corners, ensures that her table linens are professionally made with love and care. The support from her customers, who share photos of her creations, underscores the quality and uniqueness of her products. Errolene’s story is a testament to how a personal need can evolve into a thriving business that brings joy to many.
Nedjika de Koker from Reinigen Naturally
Nedjika de Koker founded Reinigen Naturally with a mission to promote self-care among women. Understanding the societal pressures that often discourage self-care, Nedjika created a range of affordable, vegan skincare products designed to de-stress, calm, and heal the body. Her personal experience of balancing a full-time job, motherhood, and entrepreneurship inspired her to advocate for self-love and care. Reinigen Naturally encourages women to prioritize their well-being, emphasizing that self-care is not selfish but essential for a fulfilling life. Nedjika’s business is a powerful reminder that taking care of oneself is a prerequisite for giving back to others.
Maureen Derman from Lunar Moods

By producing one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces, Maureen ensures that her customers receive something truly special. Her work exemplifies the blend of creativity and quality that defines successful entrepreneurship.
Masnoena Judson from Pink Ivy Jewelry
Masnoena Judson’s jewellery is crafted with the intention of helping women embrace their authenticity and God-given identity. Each piece is handmade with love, care, and attention to detail, straight from her jeweler’s bench to her customers. Masnoena is dedicated to reducing environmental impact, ensuring that all her packaging is plastic-free. Her work not only enhances personal beauty and confidence but also promotes eco-conscious practices. Masnoena’s commitment to authenticity and environmental responsibility makes her jewellery a meaningful and sustainable choice.
The Economic Impact of Women Entrepreneurs
Women entrepreneurs like Sonja, Errolene, Nedjika, Masnoena and Maureen are more than just business owners; they are catalysts for economic growth and social change. Their ventures create jobs, support local suppliers, and contribute to the overall economic health of South Africa. By fostering innovation and addressing unique market needs, these women are helping to diversify the economy and promote sustainable development.
Women entrepreneurs often reinvest their earnings into their communities, supporting education, healthcare, and other social initiatives. This multiplier effect enhances the well-being of entire communities, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
At Moksi, we are honoured to support and celebrate the incredible women entrepreneurs who are shaping South Africa’s economic future. Their stories of resilience, creativity, and dedication inspire us all. As we continue to champion their efforts, we recognize the profound impact they have on our society and economy.
