JABU
They invest in talented employees and are intentional in evening out the playing field in the finance world---a predominantly white male-centred domain. This echoes her earlier sentiments that the company grooms its employees and invest in education, as they paid for her Postgraduate Diploma in Business Admin, a qualification she did with Henley. When asked about how she maintains a work-life balance seeing as she is always thriving at work, she speaks about the support she’s received from her partner and in-laws. “A lot of times as women, we shy away from saying we need support and asking for it,” Jabu says, and continues to urge other women to take time out and give themselves breaks and prioritise rest. This is apt motivation coming from someone like Jabu Vitshima who seems to be making strides and is well on her way to breaking glass ceilings, or aspires to. The future looks incredible for this 34-year-old tech enthusiast who sees herself getting her MBA in the next two years, stepping into her dream role of Chief Operating Officer some years after, and eventually—God willing—we might she her killing it as CEO of MultiChoice, she laughs. For Jabu Vitshima, the goal is to make young girls and women see that it is possible, to inspire them to live boldly and loudly, and to never shy away from owning their lives and achievements. Jabulile Vitshima’s story is one of a born leader who is not only steering her team through the complexities of financial service delivery but is also setting new standards for innovation and excellence in the field.
