Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe is a Johannesburg based business woman, who is known for involvement in the South
African fashion, which now also includes Africa as a whole. She started as a
devoted follower of fashion until she realised that the South African fashion
industry need to be developed in order for it to be recognized internationally
as well.
She studied medicine at
Wits University, where she began her career as a doctor and spent most of her life as a GP (General Practitioner) for a
number of public and private hospitals around Johannesburg. Then later on moved
to the United States of America, in Virginia and worked at the teenage and
women’s health areas at the Medical College. Then when she moved back to South
Africa, she opened a Women’s Health Clinic in Johannesburg.
Leaving the medicine practice after 8 years, she decided to
head the Motsepe Foundation, which focuses on health and education in poor communities
in South Africa.
