EZULWINI – Grab the chance to have a business breakfast meeting with Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma this coming Friday.
The business breakfast meeting will be held at the Happy Valley Hotel in Ezulwini and the scheduled time is 7.30 a.m. This was confirmed by African Women’s Peace and Development Foundation (AWPDF) Chairperson, Tizie Maphalala.
The theme is ‘Investing in Women’s Leadership.’ The purpose of the corporate breakfast is to raise funds and celebrate 10 years of its existence, having been established in 2013. The guest speaker is Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, who is the first woman to be elected as the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (October 2012–January 2017), and the continental strategic plan, dubbed ‘Agenda 2023, the Africa We Want,’ was developed during her tenure.
Maphalala said, “As a woman who has reached the highest levels of decision-making, with vast experience on issues of peace and development in Africa, and who inspired and supported AWPDF during its infancy years when she was head of the African Union Commission, AWPDF believes Dr. Dlamini-Zuma will be able to share unique perspectives that inspire women leaders in Eswatini. We believe that women have an essential role to play in achieving sustained peace and development at all levels.”
According to the chairperson, the event will present a unique opportunity for institutions to invest in their women by supporting their participation and providing them with a platform to draw lessons from and be inspired by a woman leader who has much to share. She added, “We look forward to engaging in-depth on the importance of women’s participation at leadership levels, women’s role in peace building and promoting sustainable development, gender dynamics of leadership, and overcoming related barriers.”
