What better way to close Women’s Month than by celebrating women who are not waiting for permission to build the futures they imagine?
For its fifth year in South Africa, Veuve Clicquot Official’s Bold Woman Award has recognised two women doing exactly that: Lindiwe Nkuna-Kgopa, founder of Lindiwe Sanitary Pads, who was named the 2026 Bold Woman Award winner, and Pretty Kubyane, Co-founder and Tech Lead of eFama App, who received the Bold Future Award.
The awards, announced at a celebration at Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff in Johannesburg, honour women whose work is shifting industries, creating opportunity and challenging ideas about who gets to lead.
A big thank you to AVENUE
