LOCAL women leaders received well-deserved acknowledgement for their hard work, professionalism and dedication to their communities at the Zululand Businesswomen’s Association’s Regional Business Achievers Awards ceremony in Richards Bay on Wednesday.
The annual glitzy event celebrates the success of women in each BWA branch nationwide.
Scooping the top awards were Lifeline Zululand’s Michelle Jewlal in the social category, King Cetshwayo Municipality Mayor Ntombenhle Mkhulisi (government), Specialist Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Dr Jayeshnee Moodley (professional), Founder of Beads Magazine Nqobile Xulu Nene (entrepreneur) and RBCT Health, Safety, Environment and Compliance General Manager Zanele Mthiyane (corporate).
BWA Zululand Branch Chairperson Elaine Chetty congratulated each of the finalists on their remarkable work that secured their nominations.
‘Recognition of women serves a dual purpose in that it showcases women achievers, providing them with a platform that they would not have had, and in addition, it inspires other women to become achievers themselves.
‘To all women in attendance tonight, go out there and work hard to make your life meaningful.
‘Be an inspiration.’
