The Stellenbosch University Women Alumnae Network (SWAN) takes great pleasure in inviting you to an online conversation in celebration of International Women’s Day.
Please join our panel of incredible Matie women, who are keen to share their respective journeys with you and lead a discussion on how we all could play a part to #BreakTheBias and help foster a world that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. The discussion will be facilitated by Prof Ingrid Woolard, Dean of Stellenbosch University’s Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences.
Our panel members have each carved out a significant reputation for themselves in law, finance and the corporate sector. They are:
- Dr Nicky Newton-King, a corporate finance and regulation lawyer, and the first woman CEO in the 125-year history of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
- Prof Rachel Jafta, a widely respected and award-winning advocate of educational development and growth in South Africa and a lecturer in Economics.
- Sinomtha Zake, a final-year Matie studying towards her BMus degree, and part of our award-winning Stellenbosch University Choir.
