THE spotlight is shining on women in construction, and one of KwaZulu-Natal's own has emerged as a leading voice in youth empowerment and mentorship.

Sanele Ndlovu, project manager at Magnacorp Project Managers, was recently honoured at the Construction Industry Development Board's Youth Empowerment and Recognition of Women in Construction (ERWIC) Awards, where she walked away with two accolades: second place in the Mentorship category and third place as Woman Contributor of the Year.

For the KwaMashu-born mentorship champion, the recognition is humbling and affirming.

"It tells me that both our company's commitment to training youth and my personal journey as a woman leader are being acknowledged," she said.

"Importantly, these awards also recognise the power of partnerships. Without collaboration with government and industry stakeholders, none of this impact would be possible."

The honours mark a significant milestone in Magnacorp's work to break cycles of unemployment and inequality in the built environment.
