Johannesburg, South Africa – Empowawomen, a division of Empowaworx, is thrilled to
announce its highly anticipated industry focus that will spotlight the need to accelerate the
empowerment of women in the transport and logistics sector. As part of its ongoing mission to
champion female leadership and drive transformative change, Empowawomen is set to
observe Transport Month by embarking on an empowering journey to Mpumalanga and the
North West provinces in October, 2024.
Zazini Molo, Head of Empowawomen, expressed her excitement about the upcoming Summits
and lauded the Women In Transport partner, the Transport Education and Training Authority
for its progressive stance in partnering for positive impact on women across the transport
value chain: “I am excited to announce that Empowawomen is bringing its Women in Transport
Summit to Mpumalanga and the North West. This initiative represents a unique opportunity to
highlight and explore the opportunities women can and should pursue in the industry. It’s an
honour to provide a platform where women can share their experiences, inspire one another,
and connect with new opportunities.
This sector is pivotal to South Africa’s economy, and it’s
time we shine a spotlight on the incredible women driving its success.”
The interprovincial summit is set against the backdrop of South Africa’s bustling transport
sector, a cornerstone of the nation’s economic infrastructure. The North West and Mpumalanga
provinces, with their highly industrialised landscapes, represent a wealth of opportunities for
women to excel in a field traditionally dominated by men. The transport sector’s significance
as a pillar of South Africa’s trade and economic activity makes it an ideal arena for women to
make a substantial impact.
Anno-Frempong, CEO of the Transport Education and Training Authority (TETA), shared her
perspective on the role of TETA in this initiative: “At TETA, we are committed to promoting
empowerment and fostering inclusive growth within the transport sector. By supporting
initiatives like the Women in Transport Summit, we aim to provide women with the skills,
training, and opportunities they need to thrive in this competitive field. Our mandate is to
create pathways for women to excel, and we are proud to partner with Empowawomen in this
vital endeavor to promote gender equality to drive the future of transport in South Africa.”
The Women in Transport Summits will feature a stellar lineup of keynote speakers and
panelists, including top industry professionals and visionary leaders who will offer insights into
the latest trends, opportunities, and strategies for success. Attendees can expect a rich and
engaging experience, filled with valuable discussions, networking opportunities, and
inspirational stories from women who are leading the way in transport and logistics.
