When the odds are against you – you are able to get up and
go. I would like to take this time and
write about my sister the pioneer in our family.

Zelda Taylor, born in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South
Africa. I think a beautiful blonde woman
with two beautiful children. Her son
Duane Taylor now in the USA working. Her
daughter in Grade 12 Nikita Taylor. Just
for the record the children are being raised by a single mom. Zelda’s husband passed away a short while
after they discovered that she was pregnant with Nikita and she has been taking
care of these children.
Life happened and after relocating to Port Elizabeth in the
Eastern Cape, South Africa my sister realised that it was just impossible to
make any money there. Life was difficult
and she had to leave Duane behind as he was attending Grey High School and
didn’t want to make a change in his schooling.
Coming to Johannesburg with a young Nikita they moved into a little town
house and she worked diligently and hard.
Traveling overseas, learning and make inroads wherever she went.
Things changed and she was unfortunate in her last position
and had to make a decision. She decided
to do what she knew best and started selling products from her own home, 2010. Her first sale came in and she just kept
working hard. As the Sole owner of the
company Ayoba my sister started with the help of her partner Kobus and they
started a micro office in Secunda, Mpumalanga.
Employing an administrator and a driver, time moving fast they needed to
employ another person. They had to get
their name out there and decided to employ a representative. Someone who knew their products and would
bring in sales, this was in August 2011.
Still the business is picking up in October 2011 they had to
find a good Technician. Their Secunda
office is still growing and they looked at employing another administrative
lady and another representative.
The population of the Secunda office almost in place; Zelda
needed to get her micro office in Johannesburg populated as well.
In March 2012 a representative needed to be employed in the
Johannesburg office and in April 2012; Zelda employed her stepdaughter to come
and work for her and then also needed the assistance of an Internal Sales
Clerk.
The population of her two offices one in Secunda and one in
Johannesburg stands at 11 people. She is
the sole owner of the company and her partner will be joining her with a 50/50
percentage between the two of them.
I think this is wonderful that someone in the prime of her
live is able to get out there and make a success of her life. Her main products are Safety Equipment and
gear, hydraulics and pumps. So should
you need to have anything sorted out in the Engineering Field let me know and I
can get you into contact with a brilliant lady.
