To whom it may concern
I have employed many people in almost 40 years of running my own businesses. I have also written numerous
references over the years, and this one for Zizi (Josette) Hollander is, by far, the easiest and most pleasurable to
write. Simply put, it should consist of just one sentence: Hire Zizi for whatever job she wants.
There is no need to say more, but for the sake of clarity, I will.
Zizi is one of the warmest, most kind-hearted and generous people I have ever met. She is intelligent, funny,
gets on well with people, is wonderfully honest and treats everyone fairly.
She is a team player and also very much a leader who leads by example. Her work ethic is the best I have ever
encountered. She understands her strengths and is adept at using them to get the job done, way better than
expected and well within the required time lines.
I hired Zizi in October 1996 when I started Soccer-Laduma newspaper. Over the years, Zizi was a driving force
in turning our fledgling publication into the biggest selling newspaper in South Africa with the biggest digital and
social media presence in the industry, and one of the biggest football newspapers in the world. This success
was achieved without any previous publishing experience and on a shoestring budget.
Working with Zizi was a pleasure. We brainstormed ideas, set objectives and then she would turn them into
reality. There was no area of the business that Zizi was not involved in. She took on numerous roles and
responsibilities over the years, and never shied away from a new challenge.
Zizi left Soccer Laduma at the end of December 2011 to take a much needed break and explore new horizons.
It was a great loss for us but the solid foundation she left in place ensured the companys continued growth
and success.
I am privileged to have worked with Zizi for 15 years and so much of my good fortune is down to her.
And so I reiterate: If Zizi wants to work at your company, hire her!
Please feel free to call me at any time should you have any questions.
Your sincerely
Peter du Toit
