Motsepe-Radebe has consistently broken barriers and redefined power and influence on the continent. Her presence at this year’s festival is set to ignite conversations, inspire generations, and elevate the mission of WomenIN — to connect, empower, and celebrate women across industries and borders.

Her voice reflects the essence of this year’s theme — Limitless. No Labels. No Limits. No Apologies. We are honoured to welcome her to the stage, and even more excited for what her message will unlock in every woman attending this year’s festival.”
The WomenIN Festival brings together women leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers from diverse sectors including mining, energy, mobility, finance, fashion, media, and the green economy. With a curated program of thought-provoking dialogues, fireside chats, capacity-building sessions, live activations, and power networking, the festival is a movement — not just a moment.
