Through BWA, business women from across many industries connect to share and discover new ways of doing business better. In this way, they have a positive impact through empowering small business owners and other professional women country-wide. It has had huge benefits for me in my role at Cushman & Wakefield Excellerate.” Nomzamo Radebe, CEO of JHI - part of Cushman & Wakefield Excellerate, comments: “It is fitting that, on the eve of Women’s Month, we celebrate women achievers in business. We congratulate Liezel Conradie on this noteworthy achievement. JHI has a proud history of building a nation of empowered women and promoting gender equality.
