Head of the best performing Gauteng township school, Ivory Park Secondary School, Edith Mamosebo says literacy is the key to our future.

The awards are for exceptional and visionary women who have achieved in their own fields with determination and foresight to make an impact on the future of South Africans. There are five categories - Health Care-Givers; Educators; Corner Shop to Big Business Makers; Good Neighbours and Youth Movers.

This year will also honour an esteemed South African who during her or his lifetime has inspired generations. The public will be asked to nominate the Lifetime Achiever who will receive R100 000 to donate to a cause which the recipient believes will better the lives of South Africans.
