RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - “Ek glo dat dit belangrik is om aan te hou verbeter.” Vir Tanya James, inwoner van Rustenburg, word hiérdie woorde weërspieël in haar daaglikse leefwyse. 
Sy is onlangs aangewys as een van slegs twee geoktrooieerde bemarkers in Suid Afrika - ‘n titel wat as “baanbreker”-status beskryf word, na ‘n uiters streng keuringsproses.

James bestuur tans haar eie bemakingsmaatskappy en is tydens die seremonie deur die president van AMC, Helen McIntee, in die teenwoordigheid van familie, AMC-ampsdraers en ander lede van die fakulteit (wat James gementor het) geluk gewens.
