Hosted at the Bryanston Country Club on March 27th, the event was made possible by our main sponsor Emerald Africa, co-sponsors Bryte Insurance, Fulcrum, Garrun Group, Santam Insurance, Transition Risk Solutions and Yard Insurance, and complementary sponsor, Consort Technical Underwriters.
The highlight of the evening was a captivating speech by Ferial Haffajee, an esteemed South African editor and journalist currently serving as Associate Editor at the Daily Maverick.
Finding hope amidst challenges
While addressing the upcoming elections, she eloquently connected the essence of womanhood to the pivotal role each citizen plays in shaping the nation’s destiny. Emphasising the significance of every woman’s voice, she underscored the power of unity and empowerment in fostering positive change.
Amidst the backdrop of challenges facing South Africa, from crime and corruption to load shedding and economic uncertainties, Ferial’s message resonated with hope and optimism. She reminded us of the intrinsic beauty of our nation and the countless reasons to remain steadfast in our commitment to its growth and prosperity.
As we navigate through the complexities of our society, let us heed Ferial’s call to action. Let us, as women, embrace our collective strength and determination to overcome obstacles, knowing that each of us holds the power to make a difference. Together, we can forge a path towards a brighter tomorrow, anchored in unity, resilience, and unwavering hope for a better South Africa.
