Profile

Masada Terverite Deconnick is a pioneering Botswana entrepreneur and leader in the automotive services industry whose resilience and vision have reshaped vehicle repair services in her community. She is the Founder and CEO of MTD’s Auto Electrical Pty Ltd, a full service vehicle repair workshop in Mochudi that offers mechanical, auto electrical, panel beating, spray painting, suspension, and breakdown services. Masada began her journey as a mobile auto electrical technician before establishing a permanent workshop in 2023 after nearly a decade of hard work and dedication to her craft. Her commitment to quality service and customer trust has allowed her business to grow, employing and training young professionals, including female engineers in a traditionally male dominated industry.

Masada embodies determination, innovation, and the entrepreneurial spirit of African women who break barriers while nurturing families and communities. She built her business from the ground up, drawing on her engineering training from the Botswana College of Engineering and Technology and the encouragement of her parents, turning challenges into opportunities that uplift others through employment and example. Masada’s success story inspires other women and mothers to pursue their passions, persevere through setbacks, and lead with confidence in pursuit of their dreams.
