Like myself, Ms. Mkhari began in the field of security. In her case installing CCTV security cameras in most of South Africa's public venues and shopping centres and providing security alarm monitoring. We have both expanded our own businesses into other diviersified enterprises. She has segued smoothly from ruling the street with a rock in hand during the apartheid era to ruling her own companies.
