Spotlight on Excellence: A Glorious Evening at the 2023 Gauteng Women Excellence Awards
Reliving the magic of the 2023 Gauteng Women Excellence Awards feels like a journey through a tapestry adorned with threads of achievement and inspiration. As I reflect, it’s incredible to see how the seeds of inspiration, planted during the planning stages back in February 2020, blossomed into a spectacular event.
The Awards Ceremony, held last night, unfolded as a celebration of the phenomenal women of Gauteng. Each woman’s story, resilience, and impact echoed through the venue, creating an atmosphere of empowerment and recognition.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the remarkable team from the Gauteng Office of the Premier for generously including me in these impactful occasions. Your dedication to excellence shines brightly, and it’s an honour to be part of such remarkable events.
