This Women’s Day, we are honoured to celebrate Sue King, a true testament to resilience and unwavering strength. Sue's journey through life has been marked by incredible personal and professional achievements, but it is her remarkable fortitude in the face of adversity that truly defines her.

Sue's career has been a dynamic blend of passion and dedication. As a brand builder at RGBC and a BC at Discovery, she demonstrated exceptional commitment and expertise, elevating prestigious brands and crafting impactful engagements.

Her entrepreneurial spirit also shone brightly through VitaGirl SA, her online wellness store renowned for its carefully curated skincare and wellness products.

However, Sue's story of triumph is most profoundly illustrated by her personal battles. Over the past two years, she faced a gruelling series of health challenges, including over 20 surgeries, severe pain, and the profound physical and emotional toll of mastitis and a hysterectomy.

Despite these trials, Sue's indomitable spirit never wavered. She continued to exhibit the same dedication and passion that defined her professional life, embodying the strength and perseverance of a true warrior. Sue's journey is not just a story of overcoming hardship but also a powerful reminder of what women can endure and achieve.

Her ability to emerge from such a challenging period with grace and strength makes her an inspiring role model.

Today, we honour Sue not only for her professional accomplishments but for her incredible resilience and unbreakable spirit, exemplifying the very essence of strength and endurance.

On this Women’s Day, we proudly honour Namritha Sivsanker, an extraordinary leader whose unwavering commitment to addressing poverty, inequality, and gender-based violence embodies the spirit of empowerment and hope.

As the CEO of HOPE SA Foundation, Namritha has dedicated herself to transforming marginalised communities across South Africa and the African continent. Her organisation’s mission—to provide disaster relief, healthcare, education, and gender-based violence prevention—is a testament to her vision of creating positive, lasting change aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Under Namritha’s guidance, HOPE SA Foundation has made substantial strides in uplifting communities, fostering dignity, and instilling hope. Her story exemplifies the power of resilience and the impact of dedicated service, inspiring us all to continue striving for positive change.

Her leadership at HOPE SA Foundation has led to impactful initiatives that uplift and empower individuals, fostering dignity and hope in the face of adversity. Namritha’s personal and professional journey stands as a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit and the profound impact of unwavering commitment.

Today, we celebrate Namritha for her extraordinary achievements, her boundless courage, and her relentless drive to make a difference. Her story is a beacon of hope and an inspiration for all.
