Company Announcement - Under the Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen Mother of The Royal Bafokeng Nation, Dr. Semane Bonolo Molotlegi, Royal Bafokeng Nation today welcomed a delegation of female leaders from around Africa, the Middle East and the West, to the second annual East West and Africa Women’s Forum in Phokeng, Rustenburg. Taking place from 2 to 4 September, the Forum is intended to be the first of many global events to be held annually, hosted around the world by participating countries. The conference will include distinguished speakers and delegates from Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Morocco, Egypt, Oman, Yemen, Sudan, South Africa and Ghana.

Commenting on the initiative, Royal Bafokeng Nation Mmemogolo Dr. Semane Bonolo Molotlegi said: “The Royal Bafokeng community is honoured to host an initiative of this magnitude and the first of its kind to be held on African soil. The EWA Forum forms part of a wider community engagement initiative by the Royal Bafokeng Nation, towards creating opportunities and sustainable partnerships and networks for women from all spheres”.

Over the two days, women from all walks of life will share life stories, business ideas and experiences and discuss areas of potential synergies.  While the Forum will be held in Phokeng – it will aslo attract women who are passionate about entrepreneurship and want to grow the reach of their businesses and capitalise on ideas beyond their home country borders.

“It is also our hope that these Forums help facilitate the global interaction of women by arranging visits to participating countries in order to see their achievements and accomplishments first hand,“ says Mmemogolo.
Princess Taghrid, who played an instrumental role in the EWA Forum taking place in Phokeng this year said “The fact that the EWA Forum is taking place in Phokeg is especially a meaningful gesture. We hope this conveys the message, that more can be achieved by women who stand together, not matter their cultural backgrounds or creed. I believe that the African skies continue to bear hope for its women“
