RENOWNED African stateswoman and former first lady, Graça Machel, will join South African Minister Dr Naledi Pandor, as well as the CEO of SweepSouth, Dr Aisha Pandor, as part of this year’s influential speakers programme for Africa’s leading women’s summit.
The 2020 Forbes Woman Africa Leading Women Summit is held at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli ICC Complex in Durban on Friday, 6 March.
“The calibre of women participating in the Forbes Woman Africa Leading Women Summit, and their roles in gender inclusivity, continue to attract global attention, and we are excited to welcome these three game-changers to the 2020 programme,” said Renuka Methil, managing editor of Forbes Woman Africa. “Their embodiment of this year’s theme, ‘The Ceiling Crashers 2.0: Power with Purpose’ will showcase how they are working to level the playing field, inspiring the audience to make meaningful changes within their own sphere of influence.”
Graça Machel will speak on female empowerment and attendees will benefit from Machel’s continental insight into breaking age-old gender barriers as well as her role in promoting inclusivity across a number of key sectors.
