For nearly two years Tiisetso Modubu has been writing code in the United Kingdom for American Express.
The young Pretoria woman's success has its roots in the empowerment initiatives of Zandile Mkhwanazi who does not want to see history repeat itself when it comes to women being left behind in industrial revolutions.
This time around as the fourth industrial revolution unfolds, Mkhwanazi, the 29-year-old head of GirlCode - a non-profit organisation empowering girls and women through technology - is on a mission to ensure that gender disparity in the information and communication technologies (ICT) sector is addressed.
Mkhwanazi's goal is an ambitious one - she wants to teach 10 million girls how to code in ten years.
