“Capricorns are known to be very independent, disciplined, and organised, often make strong leaders just like I,” said Ms Nkuna as she explained her zodiac sign. Ms Nkuna started schooling at Sinqobile primary school, then she moved to Soshanguve Technical high school, and later went to Tshwane North TVET College – Roselyn Campus. The career choice Ms Nkuna chose was Civil Engineering N1-N6.

She realised that she has a talent in printing when she was in matric when she met with the father of her children, and it started as an internet café behind her partner. She then came up with the idea of printing.

“The passion I have for print is unexplainable in such a way that my hobby is singing, drawing and printing,” said Ms Nkuna.

Here is the video of Ms Nkuna explaining her passion in printing:

She added that in her spare time she likes watching movies or bonding with her children and check business social media pages. 

Ms Nkuna further explained the love she has for people is something that uplifts her unique work as a printer and makes her work special, “I am an intro-extrovert, bubbly mostly but one thing I’m not moody.” 

“I am a hard worker and when I do something I make sure that I leave a mark my work is unique in a way that even copycats can’t copy the exact thing, in fact everything I touch turns to Gold,” added Ms Nkuna laughing.

She highlighted that the challenge she has in her business mostly is communication, because of different personalities she comes across. 

Ms Nkuna said that she is cheerful to be the mother of two children, a boy and a girl. “I am proud of the women today because, I am a strong, independent and what I like the most about me is that I gained to love myself more,” said Ms Nkuna.

Ms Nkuna said that she regrets not living enough she feels like she didn’t enjoy her teenage hood because she was always indoors, the only time she was outdoors was when she sneaks out to see her boyfriend.

Ms Nkuna concluded by saying that she sees herself owning an empire in five years. First empire will be deco and catering, second one will be the printing and the third one will be the construction . Her aspiration in life is to see her children prosper in life and achieve more than she has done.
