Up-and-coming fact:
It took 10 years of Wesi knocking on the doors of government and developmental agencies to acquire a 13-year-old industry giant.
Wesi runs a venue and events management company called International Convention Solutions (ICS) servicing clients from Government to private sector through conferences, festival and activations. In 2017 ICS acquired a 51% share in the 3D Group, the largest exhibition infrastructure and design stand-building company in southern Africa. In addition to her business, Wesi and her business partner Puseletso Ndzilili run a 100% black woman-owned ACDC Express franchise in Kimberley.
