WENDY LUCAS - BULL

Wendy Lucas-Bull is one of the most instantly recognisable women in business in SA. Those who didn't recognise her from the corporate world will have seen her on SABC's The Apprentice last year, when she appeared as one of Tokyo Sexwale's assessors. She was Businesswoman of the Year in 1995 and Top Woman in Business in 2004/2005.
She's been around the corporate block many times and until late 2004 was CEO of FirstRand's retail banking cluster, FNB Retail, which included such well-known brands as First National Bank, FirstLink, WesBank, eBucks and OUTsurance. During 2005, she teamed up with SA National Parks chair Cheryl Carolus to form a new venture called Peotona.
Though Lucas-Bull has well respected business skills, one particular event in her career stands out as an example of how to get the job done right, first time. When she took control of FNB Retail in 2000, she saw that the division was fundamentally flawed, and was a possible takeover candidate if it didn't improve its performance.
She instituted a radical restructuring process, eliminating about 25% of the posts. The surgery was performed quickly, taking only 90 days from start to finish. The effect was shattering - by the time of publication of the first set of results under her leadership, FNB Retail's earnings had risen by 105%.

ZANELE MBEKI

For most South Africans, Zanele Mbeki is an enigma. Having broken the mould on the role of the First Lady in SA politics, Mbeki has also redefined for future First Ladies a position in public life that is not intrinsically tied to the presidency. While supportive of her husband, President Thabo Mbeki, and committed to her public duties, she has also managed to establish an independent life which has allowed her to carry on working in the field that has been a life-long passion - women's empowerment. Deeply private and suspiciously wary of media attention, almost nothing is known about the First Lady before she married. Speaking at a briefing at the second Beijing Conference on women, she was emphatic that she is not defined by her husband's job description. Born Zanele Dlamini, the daughter of a pastor, she grew up in Alexandra, the birthplace of many of SA's future political and gender activists. She was part of the second generation of black women to graduate with a BSc degree from Wits University and in the 1960s she left SA for Zambia where she continued to work as a social worker.
