Celebrating its ninth year, and themed Women in Leadership, the annual Fabulous Woman Awards will again shine the spotlight on outstanding women in the country.
The awards, which are the brainchild of award-winning businesswoman and philanthropist Pontsho Manzi, started in 2013 through her foundation, Fabulous Girls.
The foundation has been helping and inspiring young people, particularly girls from disadvantaged backgrounds, to dream beyond their current circumstances and to continue to uphold their integrity not only in schools but also in every aspect of their lives.
This year, the awards will be hosted in Pretoria, and girl learners from Reitumetse High School in Soshanguve will be hosted at the event.
The foundation has over the years initiated outreach programmes, including delivering leadership and entrepreneurship training to 100 unemployed youth in Etwatwa, Benoni, in 2018.
“It is my pleasure to recognise the outstanding and excellent women who have done sterling work in the empowerment and advancement of women in South Africa. I look forward to hearing more about their successes and endeavours over the coming months.
“The annual awards have been created to honour women who possess ethical leadership, vision, innovation, excellence and entrepreneurial drive with the ultimate goal being to present role models for other women to aspire to,” Pontsho said.
