Women In Leadership

Posted on August 17, 2016

The theme ‘It use to be a man’s world!’ was around challenges faced by women in management in ‘traditional’ male dominated industries (engineering, built environment and IT). The dress code required the ladies to come wearing big hats or head wraps and gloves which spoke to young women celebrating their femininity where ever they are! The program started at 9:30 with a brief meet and greet among the students and organizers. The speakers included; Nondumiso Boya, a middle operations manager from Eskom, Stella Buthelezi a business owner in the oil, mining and cosmetics sectors, and Princess Thwala, one of the group executive from African Rainbow Minerals. The speakers’ address was followed by an interactive question and answer session, which tackled critical non-technical issues faced by women in management positions. The formalities were then concluded by a great networking session and brunch.
