Top Empowerment Companies Magazine Description:

Topco Media, like many other businesses, pivoted completely towards digital during 2020 –
and it gives me great pleasure to introduce our bumper 20th anniversary digi mag edition of
Top Empowerment. The cover reflects some of the iconic individuals who have featured in
the magazine during its 20-year journey, celebrating transformation, diversity and inclusion
in South Africa.
The Hon. Zodwa Ntuli, Head of the B-BEEE Commission penned the Foreword and we have
powerful contributions from Bonang Mohale, Mich Ategana, Stephen van Coller, Sylvester
Chauke and Kershini Govender – with a tribute to the Lion of the North, Dr. Richard
Maponya.
The exciting switch to digital first has meant that we are able to include a selection of
dynamic podcasts in the articles and interviews – so you will be able to listen to the voices of the likes of Bonang Mohale, Theo Baloyi and Aisha Pandor, speaking about their
experiences, their passions and how they approach adversity and celebrate success.
The article on “Young entrepreneurs to watch out for” will blow you away with the talent we
have in this country – giving so many reasons to look forward to the future.
