ABOUT THE BRAND
Established 22 years ago at the request of Cyril Ramaphosa, Impumelelo was the first directory of leading black-owned and managed companies in South Africa.
Since then, the Top Empowerment brand has grown into one of the Country’s most well-respected transformation platforms.
The Top Empowerment Conference looks to celebrate the progress made by those committed to empowering black businesses and gain actionable insight on transforming the South African workforce through interactive panel discussions, keynote addresses and workshops.
As we move into 30 years of democracy, it is imperative for businesses in South Africa to push a transformation agenda.
The success of the economy rests on South Africa’s ability to nurture its people skills and development, open space for black owned businesses and re-shape the socio-economic status quo.
