The story behind luxury leather bag brand, Dr J. Struthers and Harriet, supports opinion that businesses in the central South African region are alive and kicking despite the existing challenges. The Business Hour sat down with the founder of Dr J.

Vundisa’s advice to young entrepreneurs is that they should “just start, it doesn’t matter what you have, just start. You’re going to have sleepless nights.

So there is always those doubts and fears, so just try to remove those and remember why you started in the first place” says Vundisa.
