"As we enter a new era, the Nedbank Top Empowerment Conference immediately creates a platform for collaboration where top executives and leading entrepreneurs come together to establish key partnerships with the government to fuel economic growth, enhance trade relationships, and improve service delivery. With distinguished voices and award-winning experts engaging over 2 days, we believe it will act as a catalyst for change, propelling businesses towards sustainable growth, adaptable strategies, and a redefined version of success in an ever-evolving landscape,” says Ralf Fletcher, CEO of Topco Media.
Critical discussions led by transformation practitioners
To highlight the importance of empowerment and sustainable transformation, the conference will feature top speakers, including:
Futhi Mtoba CA(SA), co-founder, Teach South Africa, co-convenor, WECONA and business leader
Jason Quinn, chief executive, Nedbank
Mfundo Nkuhlu, chief operating officer, Nedbank
Phumzile Langeni, independent non-executive director, Nedbank
Linda Makalima, Independent non-executive director, Nedbank
Bonang Mohale, Chancellor, University of the Free State, Professor of Practice, Johannesburg Business School (JBS) and chairman, Bidvest Group Limited and World Economic Forum
Charmaine Houvet, government affairs director, Cisco Africa
Mziwabantu Dayimani, acting CEO, National Empowerment Fund
Celebrating 25 years of progress in women's empowerment, speakers Charmaine Houvet, Futhi Mtoba, and Phumzile Langeni will drive the panel discussion titled "25 Years of Women's Empowerment: Advancing Women as Catalysts for Transformation and Equality." This panel will address the pivotal role of women, especially black women, as key economic contributors in South African households. It will focus on effectively integrating women into the B-BBEE and transformation agenda by examining policy enhancements to better support their crucial roles in driving economic and social change.
Recognising that the conference occurs during Mandela Month, the panel discussion titled "67 Minutes for Mankind” reminds us that Mandela Day on 18 July stands as a powerful call to action, urging us to not only confront the lingering disparities and inequities as a result of our history as a country but also to share best practices and proven approaches that can drive sustainable transformation that benefits both communities and businesses alike.
“When we read we are able to travel to many places, meet many people and understand the world." Nelson Mandela
The event acknowledges the significance that Mandela Day is not a one-time charity event but a reminder that South Africans should move towards sustainable initiatives that uplift communities and promote economic inclusion.
Conference attendees are invited to participate in an activation by bringing books that will be added to a bookshelf at the conference and donated to a relevant organisation.
