17 May 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Women leaders across Africa are preparing to gather at the WorkPods Entrepreneur Village in Midrand on Saturday, 17 May 2025, for The Power of Visibility Masterclass — a transformative hybrid experience designed to unlock strategic influence, elevate leadership presence, and foster a powerful network of changemakers.
Taking place from 14:00 to 18:00 SAST, this high-impact gathering welcomes founders, executives, creatives, policymakers, and emerging leaders for an afternoon of storytelling, strategic insight, and purpose-driven collaboration.
The timing could not be more significant. According to the 2025 Grant Thornton Women in Business Report, South Africa now leads the world in gender-diverse leadership, with women holding 47.2% of senior management roles. Yet, across the broader African continent, women’s representation in senior positions has declined to 36.6%, down from 41.3% in 2024. These numbers highlight both progress and the pressing need for intentional spaces that fuel women’s visibility, confidence, and leadership.
The Power of Visibility Masterclass, spearheaded by the Nonkosi Women’s Network and hosted by visibility strategist Pamela Xaba, responds to this need by creating an empowering platform rooted in action, community, and legacy.
The programme features:
- A keynote on narrative intelligence by Hugh Myres
- A storytelling Power Talk by branding icon Tumi Mthembu
- A dynamic panel moderated by Busisiwe Hlatshwayo (MBA) featuring:
- Mpume Ncube-Daka (leadership development expert)
- Professor Desere Kokt (academic and advocate for women in leadership)
- Pindi Gida (entrepreneur and media professional)
“This isn’t just another event — it’s an activation. We are cultivating spaces where women don’t need to ask permission to be visible. They walk in with clarity, courage, and the power to influence what’s next.”
says Pamela Xaba
This masterclass is designed for women across sectors — corporate, entrepreneurial, public, and creative — who are ready to step into a bigger narrative. Attendees will walk away with:
- Practical tools to own and amplify their leadership voice
- Strategies to build personal and professional visibility
- Connections with purpose-driven women across Africa and the diaspora
Whether you’re leading transformation, building a brand, or launching your next chapter, this experience will prepare you to be seen, heard, and remembered.
