    The document discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and hybrid work on women entrepreneurs in Gauteng Province, South Africa. It notes that the pandemic severely impacted women-owned businesses through decreased sales, financial challenges, and mental health issues. Statistics show that women make up 52% of entrepreneurs in South Africa, and 90% of women-owned small businesses experienced sales declines due to lockdowns. While some industries have adapted to hybrid work models, many women-owned businesses rely on walk-in customers and would struggle in a work-from-home environment. The document calls for government initiatives to assist women-owned businesses affected by the pandemic and educate them on hybrid work strategies.

    To investigate the impact of hybrid work and Covid 19 pandemic on women

    entrepreneurs in Gauteng Province

    According to (Sameera, 2022) The corona virus known as Covid 19 originated in Wuhan ,
    China in December 2019 and it spread rapidly worldwide, claiming the lives of soo many
    people both the old and young . There were restrictions on movement of citizens therefore
    people had to stay at home and this affected a lot of businesses throughout the universe
    including South African women owned businesses .

    Statistics also shows that women entrepreneurs make up to 52% of the population with the
    largest ethnic group of women owned businesses being classified as black women. Due to
    the covid 19 , women entrepreneurs have been affected and faced challenges such as
    financial , mental health stability , decrease in consumer demands , worker support.

    According to Kinos (6) , 90% of women owned small businesses in South Africa experienced
    a decline in sales due to the lockdown as the regulations severely impacted the cash flows
    of women owned businesses as they could not survive due to lack of sales .

    After the covid 19 pandemic most people are still working from home and most organisations
    introduced hybrid . According to (ILO , 2021) 17,4% of the global workforce was working
    from home but not every industry is suitable for working from home . However if we look at
    most women owned businesses they do rely on walk ins and would not survive with work
    from home especially when they are doing business with some government institutions.

    The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the already high costing trend towards working
    from home and most organisations were forced to adopt home working without being fully
    prepared for the transition .

    This can be achieved by encouraging the government to come up with initiatives to assist
    the women owned businesses whose business were affected by the covid pandemic and
    also to sensitise them on working from home and how this can also help their businesses
    grow as they will in some instances do away with paying rent for premises .
