Abstract
In celebration of the world year of physics, I worked with the Department of Science and Technology (DST) to start a Women in Physics working group in South Africa. At the end of 2004, I submitted a proposal to DST to fund the formation of Women in Physics in South Africa. The DST funded the formation of the working group. This success was due to my personal interest in women in physics, which was instilled by my attendance at the first IUPAP Women in Physics Conference in Paris in 2002. The story presented here is my personal journey to becoming a physicist, despite some difficulties that I have come across in my life, and to establishing the Women in Physics Group in South Africa.
