Two decades ago, we launched the Impumelelo publication to research, identify and promote South Africa’s most empowered companies; business leaders defining the vision for a new economy unlocked by 1994’s historic elections. This was a challenge in an era when “Googling” had yet to become part of everyday conversation. “Empowerment” itself was still a relatively new word; a new movement. Today, Impumelelo Top Empowered Companies continues to be regarded as the benchmark platform for respected thought leaders to share their views on the future of empowerment.
