Naomi Campbell heads to Durban
Supermodel and philanthropist, Naomi Campbell will be the keynote speaker at a Forbes Woman Africa Leading Women Summit in Durban.
The event takes place at the Durban's Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre on the 8th of March -- International Women's Day.
“We are truly honoured to be welcoming Naomi Campbell to the fourth annual Forbes Woman Africa Leading Women Summit,” commented Methil Renuka, managing editor of Forbes Africa and Forbes Woman Africa and host of this year’s event.
“Having established herself as a global powerhouse in fashion, Naomi Campbell has used her fame to benefit vulnerable communities, with much of her charity work also focused on the African continent. We look forward to engaging with her at this year’s ‘New Wealth Creators’ summit.”
Campbell's charity work started alongside Nelson Mandela in 1993, with Madiba bestowing her the title of ‘Honorary Granddaughter’ for her ongoing activism.
KZN MEC for Economic Development and Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Sihle Zikalala says the province is looking forward to engaging with Campbell on topics that will extend the positive impact women in this country are having, and on the continent, are having globally.
Zikalala says young women will be inspired on how to take up leadership positions in society.
"Women have been denied opportunities in various areas. So through this summit, they will be able to participate in areas that are key and challenging -- such as the economy, leadership in government, among other things," said Zikalala.
