The highly anticipated 2024 Africa Women Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (AWIEF) Awards will be hosted by one of South Africa’s most celebrated talents, Unathi Nkayi. Reported by IOL, the former “Idols SA” judge will not only guide the evening’s festivities but will also treat the audience to an exclusive live performance, making this year’s event even more special.
Set to take place in Cape Town on November 28-29, the AWIEF Awards will honour Africa’s boldest women entrepreneurs and business leaders. These remarkable individuals are being recognised for their exceptional contributions to innovation, gender equality, and economic growth across the continent.
Under the theme “Future For All: Collaborate for Growth. Solve Inequity. Act on Climate,” the event aims to inspire important discussions and ignite transformative ideas. Entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors from around the world will gather, working toward a shared vision of inclusive growth, innovation, and sustainability in Africa.
Unathi Nkayi’s involvement adds a sense of prestige to the awards. Known as a Renaissance woman, her career spans singing, radio hosting, TV presenting, and even authorship. Her presence at the event will undoubtedly elevate the celebration.
The AWIEF Awards have a rich tradition of recognising women who push boundaries and lead the way in economic development. Past hosts, like South African media icon Bonang Matheba, have set a high bar with their elegance and charisma, making the event a truly inspiring evening. This year promises to continue that legacy, celebrating the phenomenal women driving change across Africa.
