SUMMARY:How The Power of Visibility Masterclass Will Elevate African Women’s Leadership in Midrand on 17 May 2025
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaking 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe programme features: \n\n\n\n\nA keynote on narrative intelligence by Hugh Myres\n\n\n\nA storytelling Power Talk by branding icon Tumi Mthembu\n\n\n\nA dynamic panel moderated by Busisiwe Hlatshwayo (MBA) featuring:\n\nMpume Ncube-Daka (leadership development expert)\n\n\n\nProfessor Desere Kokt (academic and advocate for women in leadership)\n\n\n\nPindi Gida (entrepreneur and media professional)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“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.” \nsays Pamela Xaba\n\n\n\nThis 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: \n\n\n\n\nPractical tools to own and amplify their leadership voice\n\n\n\nStrategies to build personal and professional visibility\n\n\n\nConnections with purpose-driven women across Africa and the diaspora\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re leading transformation\, building a brand\, or launching your next chapter\, this experience will prepare you to be seen\, heard\, and remembered. \n\n\n\nTo register directly\, scan the QR code on the official event poster or search The Power of Visibility on quicket.co.za.

SUMMARY:Out of the Icebox – Sanlam Celebrates 60 Years of Art Collecting with Rarely Seen Masterpieces
DESCRIPTION:Sanlam Opens Its Vaults for a Celebratory 60-Year Art Retrospective \n\n\n\nIn a momentous tribute to six decades of artistic patronage\, Sanlam is lifting the curtain on one of South Africa’s most distinguished corporate art collections. From 1 June to 29 August 2025\, the Sanlam Art Gallery in Bellville will host two major exhibitions — Out of the Icebox and Manifesto — to mark the 60th anniversary of the Sanlam Art Collection. \n\n\n\nBoasting over 2\,000 works spanning from 1874 to the present day\, the Sanlam Art Collection is now valued at an impressive R210 million. What began in 1965 as a humble initiative to decorate corporate offices has evolved into a vital archive of South Africa’s visual art heritage. \n\n\n\nOut of the Icebox: A Journey Through Six Decades of Collecting \n\n\n\nThe headline exhibition\, Out of the Icebox\, takes visitors on a rich journey through time\, showcasing 90 works acquired from 1965 to today. The aptly titled show refers to “defrosting” artworks that have been stored away or hidden in office corridors — offering the public a rare opportunity to encounter important yet rarely seen pieces. \n\n\n\nStefan Hundt\, Curator of the Sanlam Art Collection\n\n\n\nThis curated selection reads like a who’s who of South African art history\, featuring icons such as: \n\n\n\n\nIrma Stern\, Gerard Sekoto\, Walter Battiss\, Maggie Laubser\n\n\n\nGerard Bhengu\, David Koloane\, Alexis Preller\, Simon Lekgetho\n\n\n\nContemporary artists like Blessing Ngobeni\, Frans Thoka\, and Franz Asha Zero\n\n\n\n\n\n“Out of the Icebox is more than a retrospective — it’s a celebration of South African creativity and a mirror to our collective history\,” . \nsays Stefan Hundt\, Curator of the Sanlam Art Collection\n\n\n\nManifesto: Art in the Age of Protest \n\n\n\nRunning parallel to Out of the Icebox\, the second exhibition\, Manifesto\, is a compact but emotionally resonant showcase. Featuring 18 impactful works\, the exhibition focuses on themes of protest\, human rights\, and democracy\, offering a bold reflection on South Africa’s journey from apartheid to the present. \n\n\n\nInstalled to coincide with Human Rights Day\, Freedom Day\, and Youth Day\, Manifesto challenges viewers to confront historical injustice and contemplate the socio-political currents shaping the country today. \n\n\n\nBuilding a Cultural Legacy \n\n\n\nSanlam’s commitment to the arts was never merely aesthetic. Established during a period of political and cultural isolation in 1965\, the collection was a strategic act of corporate citizenship\, supporting artists whose voices were often sidelined. From its inception\, an independent advisory committee curated the works — a decision that cemented the collection’s credibility and depth. \n\n\n\nAs Hundt notes\, “Our gallery is not just a space to show art — it’s a space to reflect\, to engage\, and to confront the realities artists explore.” \n\n\n\nWith dedicated galleries in Bellville and Sandton\, Sanlam continues to make space for bold\, complex\, and often challenging works that push beyond the confines of traditional corporate collections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Cultural Treasure for the Nation \n\n\n\nWhile the collection’s market value exceeds R210 million\, Hundt insists that its cultural value is immeasurable. “Like the Medicis of Renaissance Florence\, Sanlam’s patronage leaves a permanent imprint on South Africa’s cultural history. These works are part of our national soul.” \n\n\n\nVisitors to the exhibition will come away with a renewed appreciation for the depth\, diversity\, and global relevance of South African art.  \n\n\n\n\n“Our artists can hold their own on any stage in the world. This exhibition is proof.” \nsays Hundt\n\n\n\nPlan Your Visit \n\n\n\n\n🎟️ Admission: Free to the public\n\n\n\n🗣️ Guided Tours: Available on request\n\n✉️ Email: sanlamart@sanlam.co.za\n\n\n\n📞 Phone: 021 947 3359\n\n\n\n📱 WhatsApp: 083 457 2699\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re an art aficionado or simply curious about South Africa’s visual heritage\, Out of the Icebox and Manifesto promise a powerful\, thought-provoking celebration of the country’s artistic legacy — and a rare glimpse into works that have shaped\, mirrored\, and challenged the nation for six decades.

SUMMARY:Isigqi Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane Announces Release of Eighth Album Isigqi \n\n\n\n\n\nAcclaimed South African pianist\, composer\, and scholar Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane is poised to release his much-anticipated eighth album\, Isigqi\, on 30 May 2025 across all major digital platforms. This release will be celebrated with a special live launch concert on 1 June 2025 at The Chairman in Durban\, featuring an ensemble of prominent South African musicians. \n\n\n\nIsigqi: A Rhythmic Tribute to Heritage and Home \n\n\n\nIsigqi — meaning “the beat” in isiZulu — is a heartfelt homage to township rhythms\, intergenerational wisdom\, and the enduring spirit of community. The album is a sonic reflection of Mashiloane’s personal and professional evolution\, deeply inspired by mentors\, cultural custodians\, and the rich heritage of South African jazz. \n\n\n\nPhoto By Siya Meyiwa\n\n\n\nThe project was recorded live at the iconic bird’s eye jazz club in Basel\, Switzerland\, during Mashiloane’s 2024 residency supported by Pro Helvetia. For the session\, he collaborated with a Swiss ensemble\, infusing his African-rooted compositions with a global jazz sensibility. \n\n\n\nA Night of Sonic Storytelling in Durban \n\n\n\nThe Isigqi launch event at The Chairman will feature a powerhouse line-up\, including: \n\n\n\n\nDalisu Ndlazi (bass)\n\n\n\nRiley Giandhari (drums)\n\n\n\nSiyalo Zulu (trombone)\n\n\n\n\nAudiences can expect an immersive evening guided by African philosophies of Ubuntu\, where emotion\, rhythm\, and memory converge in Mashiloane’s signature sound. \n\n\n\nPhoto By Siya Meyiwa\n\n\n\nA Doctorate and a Milestone \n\n\n\nAdding to this celebratory moment\, May 2025 also marks Mashiloane’s doctoral graduation from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. His academic work explored the formation of a local jazz identity\, highlighting how South African musicians channel their cultural heritage through jazz as a medium. \n\n\n\n\n“Isigqi is a culmination of many things: my personal journey\, my academic reflections\, and my tribute to those who walked before me. It’s about recognising how music carries memory\, identity\, and connection.” \n\n\n\n\nUKZN praised his doctoral recitals and thesis as “musical awakenings\,” where jazz becomes a language deeply rooted in local expression\, shaped by accent\, dialect\, and lived experience. \n\n\n\nReinforcing a South African Jazz Identity \n\n\n\nHaving already secured multiple awards and critical acclaim\, Isigqi solidifies Mashiloane’s role as a leading voice in the evolution of South African jazz — one deeply rooted in ancestral memory\, community\, and rhythmic complexity. \n\n\n\nStay tuned to Isigqi — where rhythm becomes a bridge between generations\, and jazz speaks in the language of home. \n\n\n\nPhoto By Siya Meyiwa
