As I have been reflecting on the values that define Smollan, I am reminded of the powerful purpose that drives our organisation: we exist to create growth for our clients and meaningful employment opportunities that can transform the lives of our people. This purpose is not just a statement; it’s a commitment to the people who make our organization thrive and the communities we touch every day. South Africa recently celebrated Women’s Month—a time to honor the incredible contributions women make to our society and to reflect on the progress we’ve made in advancing women’s rights. This year, one story stands out to me, a story that embodies the spirit of Women’s Month. It’s the story of Tholiwe Walaza, a dedicated Smollan employee and a mother whose journey is nothing short of inspirational. Tholiwe works under our Unilever business unit and has been with Smollan for five years, starting as a Roving Merchandiser at SuperSpar Meyersdal and SuperSpar Brackengate, before moving to her current position at SuperSpar Katlehong. But her journey has been far from easy. Tholiwe tragically lost her husband ten years ago leaving her to raise her son her own. Despite the challenges she has faced, Tholiwe has shown remarkable strength and resilience. She is the proud mother of Bayanda Walaza, a name that has recently made headlines across the world. Bayanda, who is currently the fastest teenager in the world, made history by bagging a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics as part of South Africa’s 4x100 metres relay team. Just days ago, he further solidified his place in athletics by winning gold in both the 100 metres and 200 metres at the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships in Lima, Peru. These achievements are a testament not only to Bayanda’s extraordinary talent but also to the unwavering support and dedication of his mother, Tholiwe – a sentiment Bayanda shared with us when we had the privilege of celebrating him and Tholiwe at our 2024 Management Connect, Johannesburg edition. As a mother myself, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of pride for Bayanda’s accomplishments and immense admiration for Tholiwe’s role in shaping the exceptional young man he is today. Tholiwe’s story is a shining example of the kind of people who are the backbone of Smollan —individuals who inspire us, who contribute significantly to our success, and who embody the values we hold dear. It’s about more than just business; it’s about creating opportunities, nurturing talent, and making a real difference in the lives of our employees and their families. Here’s to celebrating our people, our values, and the incredible journey we are on together. #Smollan #ourpeople #winningatthepointofpurchase
