Delores Fouché gives kitchen confidential on business success
What started as a young girl’s dream in her grandmother’s kitchen has grown into a thriving business, and now, a story worth hearing. Delores Fouché, the founder of Dee’s Kitchen, recently joined The ORT Jet Business Show to share her remarkable entrepreneurial journey.
Airing every Thursday at 18:00 on 101.9 ChaiFM, The ORT Jet Business Show is hosted by business strategist David Zidel, and features real, raw conversations with South African entrepreneurs who are turning ideas into impact. Delores’s episode is a heartfelt look into the grit, grace, and growth behind her success.
“I didn’t grow up indulged,” Delores said on the show. “If I wanted something, I had to work for it. That mindset helped me build a business that feeds more than just people, it feeds purpose.”
Delores spoke openly about the ups and downs of running a business; the importance of mentorship; and how she found her voice in the face of self-doubt. Her episode wasn’t just a story, it was a call to action for anyone thinking of turning their passion into something greater.
Backed by ORT Jet, a division of ORT SA, the show is part of a wider mission to empower entrepreneurs with the tools, support, and community they need to thrive. From marketing and finance workshops to hands-on mentorship, ORT Jet has been helping small business owners grow for 20 years.
