As South African women we stand on the shoulders of giants who braved a repressive regime to make their voices heard. As we remember and celebrate these resilient women of our country who marched almost seven decades ago for our liberation, we pause to listen and showcase the women trailblazers amongst us.

Whilst there are still numerous challenges faced by women in our beautiful country and around the globe, we invite you to honour and salute the work done by those that came before us simultaneously acknowledging the continuation of that work by current generations.

The Eastern Cape, home of the legends, is well known for its contribution to the agricultural and creative industries. We are delighted to present these outstanding women to share their respective journeys in these fields.

Startup Grind is the world’s largest independent startup community, actively educating, inspiring, and connecting over 3 million startups and entrepreneurs in over 600 chapters globally. With a strong presence in over 125 countries, we strive to nurture startup ecosystems through events, media, and partnerships with organizations such as Google for Startups, AWS, and Oracle, among others.

Please join us as we celebrate and learn from: Busi Bafo, Ntozo and Sivu Giba
