essage from Wilmine: Women’s Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. For me, as a woman in the insurance industry, it’s a moment to celebrate progress, recognize resilience, and re-energize our commitment to breaking barriers.
In an industry historically led by men, Women’s Day affirms that our voices matter. It symbolizes the growing space we’ve created for women in leadership, underwriting, claims, broking, compliance, and innovation. It reminds me of the power of mentorship, the importance of inclusion, and the strength that comes from diversity.
Women’s Day is also a personal checkpoint. It urges me to reflect on my journey—my growth, the challenges I’ve overcome, and the purpose that drives me. It’s about using my role not only to succeed but to open doors for others, to speak up for fairness, and to contribute to building a more equitable and dynamic industry.
Ultimately, it’s a celebration of capability, courage, and community. It’s a call to action—for women to keep rising and for the industry to keep evolving.

Message from Thuso: Women’s Day, for me, is a reminder of the fearless women of 1956 who stood up to injustice. Their actions paved the way for the freedoms I enjoy today. It’s a chance to celebrate the women who inspire me daily and to continue advocating for equality and opportunities for all women.
Message from Pabalo: Women’s Day is a celebration of courage, resilience, and the power of rising despite the odds. It reminds me that every voice, especially those once silenced, matters. It’s a call to uplift others as we climb, to honour those before us, and to light the way forward.

Message from Mampoetsi: Women’s Day is a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience and brilliance of women across the world, each one a reflection of God’s creation, purpose and divine intention. Women embody grace and courage, shaping families, communities and nations with unwavering love and wisdom.
A brilliant woman I deeply admire once said, “For a woman to try and emulate a man is a waste of a woman” and those words have stayed with me ever since. They have become a personal mantra, a truth I live by every day.
I am a woman—phenomenally
