BUSINESS RALLY BEHIND THE AWARDS

This prestigious event was supported by corporate and government entities including the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA). The partnership was also strengthened by Brand SA which endorsed the vision behind the awards.

“The @FeathersSA have put out a clarion call for individuals and corporate South Africa to be unapologetic about inclusion.”

Acting CEO Sithembile Ntombela

Sithembile spoke about the organisation’s mandate to rally behind rights enshrined in the Constitution.

“We have partnered with this organisation purely because we are an agency that believes in an inclusive approach in celebrating South Africans that are doing remarkable work despite of the choices they made in terms of who they are, want to be and how they express themselves,” Ntombela said in an interview.
