And it`s changing the lives of others too.

If there`s one word that can be used to describe Mirriam Zwane, co-owner and director of Praxis Computing, it`s passion. This woman, who doesn`t understand the meaning of ‘can`t be done`, has used her passion, talent and faith not just in furthering her own career, but also in helping others improve their lives.

Zwane started off as a secretary at Philips South Africa and embarked on her IT career when she applied for a post in the IT department at that company, training colleagues in the use of desktop software.
