This week we celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week 2019 (#GEW2019), which runs from 18 to 24 November 2019, with a collection of tens of thousands of events, activities and competitions across the globe. These are aimed at inspiring millions to explore their potential as entrepreneurs.

Fittingly, here at Bizcommunity we've dubbed the month of November #EntrepreneurMonth, and have been showcasing entrepreneurs who've found solutions to the problems we face daily.

There's even a 7-year-old social entrepreneur who aims to bring hope to Mzansi with the creation of a superhero called SuperMash, whose adventures will help young kids face some of life's biggest challenges.

There's no denying South Africa faces many challenges, more specifically South African women in the area of small business and entrepreneurship. That's why Linda McClure asks: 'How can we grow female entrepreneurship in SA?'
