Meet the finalists of the 2022 Santam Women of the Future Awards in association with Fairlady and Truelove
Finalists
We are excited to announce the finalists of the 2022 Santam Women of the Future Awards in association with FAIRLADY and TRUELOVE.
Once again, we have been inspired by their entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to seeing their business ideas through, determination to succeed against considerable odds and the impact they are making in their community and to the South African economy.
The panel of judges presiding over the awards this year are Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa (CEO of Naspers South Africa), Professor Thuli Madonsela (Chair of Social Justice at Stellenbosch University and founder of the Social Justice M-Plan and the Thuma Foundation), Dawn Nathan-Jones (entrepreneur and CEO at Over the Rainbow), Enid Lizamore (Group Executive Head of Human Resources at Santam), Suzy Brokensha (FAIRLADY Editor-in-Chief) and Makhosazana Zwane-Siguqa (TRUELOVE Editor-in-Chief).
‘These finalists make me excited about the future, which is what these awards are all about: showcasing the talented, determined women who are helping to transform the South African landscape for all of us, in terms of both our economy and our society,’ says Suzy Brokensha, FAIRLADY Editor-in-Chief.
‘We went into this year’s project cautiously optimistic of the number of entries we would receive, and once again, our expectations were exceeded,’ says TRUELOVE Editor-in-Chief Makhosazana ‘Khosi’ Zwane-Siguqa. ‘We’re thrilled about the number of quality entries we’ve received this year as we slowly rebuild after the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of these finalists held it together over the past two years, and deserves recognition for keeping their businesses alive through an unprecedented period of our generation.’
Santam’s many years of supporting women in business in South Africa have given the company valuable insight into the potential pitfalls of the entrepreneurial journey. Santam understands that the first 1 000 days of running a business are the hardest – if you’re still in business by day 1 001, they believe you’re in it for the long haul!
We are proud to announce this year’s finalists:
