A Decade of Empowerment and Leadership

Key highlights will include the prestigious SAWIL Trailblazers Awards & Gala Dinner, celebrating women who are shaping Africa’s future, and the CWIL Corporate Awards and Dinner, recognising companies that excel in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and governance practices. A Career and Business Expo will also be held during the summit, connecting aspiring women with potential employers and showcasing innovative women-owned businesses.

A Day Dedicated to Giving Back

The celebration will conclude with the Chairperson’s Charity Golf Day, featuring a golf tournament and a special golf clinic for aspiring golfers. This event will bring together golf enthusiasts and newcomers alike, all in support of a worthy cause.
