Mathews Phosa will be the guest speaker at the Future of Empowerment Conference

Advocate Phosa will speak about how far South Africa has come to implement the demands of the Freedom Charter, which was adopted at Kliptown 60 years ago.

The Future of Empowerment conference is being held at Gallagher Estate in Midrand. It starts at 9am tomorrow and Mr Phosa will be the first speaker.

Oliver Empowerment Award past winners as well as contributors to the well-established, Impumelelo Top Empowered Companies publication will be presenting, debating and attending the event with the aim to further prioritise transformation in South Africa.

"Organisations and individuals wish to have access to case studies and detailed examples of what top empowered organisations have done or implemented. They want to learn from them and emulate this success in their own business," explains Ryland Fisher, Associate publisher and editor at Topco Media and the moderator of the conference.

"The new update in the B-BBEE codes of good practice affects businesses positively and negatively at several tiers and companies and owners or executives in business need to know what the impact of the codes will be and obtain advice and knowledge on how to deal with these changes."
