Keneilwe Ledwaba’s journey from accounting graduate to owning a construction company

BY Nkosazana Ngwadla

Meet Keneilwe Ledwaba is an accounting graduate from Brits in North West, but after she couldn’t find a work in her field of study, she started NeiTouch, a construction and renovation company, thanks to her dad who taught her all the tricks of the trade.

“I learned a lot of what I know today about construction from our family business which has been operational for the past 14 years. Additionally, it is not easy in the construction industry for a woman since this industry is male dominated.

People are often intrigued as to why am I an accounting graduate who works in construction, I always have to validate my reasons as to why did I settle for ‘such a job’ as the public labels it. Although it was a bumpy ride at first, I have developed interest over the years for the work I do and the nature of the business environment I operate in,” the entrepreneur said.
