Mbombela - Popular SABC 3 talk show host Noeleen Maholwana-Sangqu has warned women in bad relationships to stop feeling sorry for themselves and take remedial action.
Maholwana-Sangqu was speaking at a women's event held in the Mbombela stadium in Mataffin, Mpumalanga.
"Stand up, take steps and stop building roadblocks that hinder you from enjoying success.
"If you are not happy with the situation, leave and stop feeling sorry for yourself.”
She said every woman had a specific purpose and personal mission in life and should not try to copy others.
"Some people refer to me as the Oprah of South Africa, but I refuse to be a shadow of a woman who does not know my daily challenges and I also do not know what she encounters daily. I do not compare myself to anyone,” said Maholwana-Sangqu.
She also warned women to guard against working themselves to death.
She said she had personally landed in an intensive care unit due to exhaustion.
"I tried to do it all, be a perfect mother, wife and professional at the same time. I saw nothing wrong until I woke up in ICU because I chose to do things at the expense of my body," Maholwana-Sangqu said.
The Small Economic Development Agency, the Mpumalanga Economic Growth Agency and the Industrial Development Corporation made presentations on how women could take on the business world during the event.
According to IDC regional manager, Clara Ramushu, women intending to start small businesses had a greater opportunity to get funding assistance.
"IDC has millions to fund, particularly small businesses. We are eager to fund businesses that are planning to save jobs or create employment," said Ramushu.
