NATIONAL NEWS - South African property icon and business woman, Pam Golding, died on Tuesday, at her Wittebomen home in Constantia, Cape Town.
Pam Golding Properties said Golding, aged 90, passed away peacefully.
"Having turned what began as a hobby into a lifelong passion, with fearless entrepreneurial flair for people, property and business -- and creating what ultimately became a thriving, global property company -- Mrs Golding set the highly competitive property industry on a new course which continues to this day," the Golding family said in a statement.
"Courageous, determined and with the unique charm and tenacity to overcome any challenge, she launched The Pam Golding Property Group in 1976 at a time when the real estate industry was male-dominated and still somewhat of a ‘home industry’. She quickly identified a niche in the market for a discreet and professional property agency in South Africa, in the process building a reputation for selling the country’s most luxurious homes and building the integrity, trust and respect of the Pam Golding Properties brand."
