Held at the SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria, the much-anticipated Forbes Woman Africa Awards were a spectacular gathering of inspiring women from across the African continent. The who's who of the industry were in attendance to celebrate the most accomplished leaders and luminaries honored for their impactful work.
Holding it down on the red carpet was the ever-charming Moshe Ndiki, who interviewed some of the biggest personalities in Africa. With his inquisitiveness and humour, he managed to draw out some of the best responses from the evening's distinguished guests.
Fashion was undoubtedly a highlight of the night. Among the standout attendees were former Miss Universe South Africa Bryoni Govender, the stylish Thembelihle Mnguni, and former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi. Zozi not only graced the red carpet but also took the stage earlier in the day as one of the speakers at the 2025 FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Leading Women Summit, sharing her insights and inspiring the audience with her powerful words.
Stealing the spotlight at the awards was Khosi Twala, who dazzled in a stunning Kbubbles Design—a Nigerian-inspired ensemble. The Big Brother star is no stranger to turning heads with her bold fashion choices, consistently exuding confidence while collaborating with local designers who bring her personality to life through their creations.
The evening was a celebration of African excellence, spotlighting the achievements of trailblazing women who continue to break barriers and shape the future. As the curtains closed on this glamorous affair, it was clear that the Forbes Woman Africa Awards not only honored past and present accomplishments but also ignited a renewed sense of possibility and ambition for the next generation of female leaders across the continent.
