IN A glittering tribute to female empowerment, Rachel Kolisi was recently celebrated at the Panache Women of Wonder Awards South Africa.

The awards, a beacon of recognition for trailblazers and architects of societal change, shine a light on remarkable women who exemplify resilience, leadership and profound contributions across various fields.

The Women of Wonder, founded by Farzana Mayet, has evolved into a global celebration, spanning cities from Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Dubai, Qatar, London to India and Mauritius.

Since its inception, the awards have not only recognised achievers but have also celebrated nation-builders — women who inspire transformation, from entrepreneurship to education, healthcare, the arts and beyond.

Mayet said: “These women are more than achievers — they are nation-builders.
