Recommendations The Awards are quickly becoming the premier event in gender diversity in South Africa. • Sbu Gule, Norton Rose Zanele and I would like to wholeheartedly thank you for the invitation to the awards and for seating us at a table with you and the other dignitaries which gave us a good networking opportunity.

I am sure that I not only speak for Zanele, but my partners who attended the event when I say that it was a well organised and classy affair. The speeches were on point and the entertainment was excellent. We all had a good time. What is also heartening is that it was all for a good cause. I must congratulate you for all the hard work that you have put into ensuring that diversity does happen in the workplace, and it is just not talk.

I look forward to participating in your other initiatives. • Andy Henderson, UKTI Many congratulations to you, Malcolm and the whole team for another inspiring evening in the company of very special people..

You should be very proud of what you have achieved. We enjoyed being with you.

Recommendations cont’d • Dr Len Konar Well done on a stupendous achievement! Long may it last. The trick now is to get traction on the HUGE PERSONAL INVESTMENT you and Business Engage and GMA have made and build on it going forward.

• Gert Schoonbee, T-Systems It is easy to be your partner since you really make a big difference and you expect so little back.

Congratulations with a BIG evening.

The fact that the awards were spread out between so many different companies is another indication for me how the whole initiative is maturing. Brilliant!

I know this will not be the end of the journey. Because it will feel like a failure if it is.

We will remain on your side.

• Shirley Machaba, PwC It was an awesome night for all including our clients. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such an event to keep profiling our firm as well as strengthening our networks.

Recommendations cont’d • Hein Boegman – Africa CEO, PwC Making the decision to sponsor the GMA was one of the first " at risk " decision I took coming into the South Africa CEO role just more than 4 years ago. I wanted to consolidate what I considered to be a somewhat scattered approach to a very important issue , to a single meaningful contribution that would have the potential to make a difference.

Looking back I want to thank you for making this such a meaningful relationship and a cause with much more than what I could have imagined. Dion , whom I have known for just about half his live, is probably one of the few who really understand my passion for gender equality . His words on Thursday regarding my focus on gender came as a surprise to me , but I felt a sense of immense pride with what I saw that evening - with the unique and unexpected opportunity to have one of my daughters with me!

May GMA continue to help change perceptions and reality - and hopefully we will continue to part of the journey. You have a lot to be proud of.

• Dion Shango – Southern Africa CEO, PwC Congratulations on another fantastic event last week. It just seems to get bigger and better!

It is a real privilege for us to be involved with the GMAs, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.
