Tambo region of South Africa. Despite the region's rich economic potential, women in this area face significant barriers to economic participation and empowerment. This research explores the impact of entrepreneurship on women's economic growth, including obstacles to their entrepreneurship endeavours. A quantitative approach is used, utilising quantitative data from surveys, and questionnaire rating scales. The study finds that entrepreneurship does not improve women's economic growth, income, and job creation in the region in the O.R. Tambo region due to obstacles faced by the women entrepreneurs. The study recommends targeted interventions to support women entrepreneurs, including training programmes, mentorship initiatives, and access to capital. By promoting entrepreneurship among women in the O.R. Tambo region, this research aims to contribute to sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction, and gender equality.
