Some of the women making the biggest difference are simply getting on with the work in front of them; building, growing, leading, learning and keeping important legacies alive.
For Lizzy Mashabe, farming is tied to family, community and something worth carrying forward. Her story is rooted in purpose, community and a deep love for farming, and being recognised reminded her that the work she does is making an impact. She serves as a reminder that the women shaping South Africa’s workplaces and communities aren’t always the ones receiving the spotlight, but their impact is there all the same.
There are women like Lizzy in workplaces and communities across South Africa whose contributions deserve to be seen.
