W.O.W (Workshops of Wealth), a pan-African initiative committed to strengthening leadership capacity, economic empowerment and long-term legacy among African women, is set to host a major two-day gathering in Sandton, Johannesburg. The convening will feature the W.O.W Africa 50 Women Honours and a high-level strategy session designed to deepen collaboration among influential women across the continent.
Saturday, 7 March 2026 — W.O.W Africa 50 Women Honours
Taking place on the eve of International Women’s Day at @sandtonhotel, the W.O.W Africa 50 Women Honours will recognise exceptional African women whose work continues to shift economic narratives and transform sectors across the continent. The honourees span multiple fields — from business, finance and public leadership to health, mining, innovation, fashion, environmental advocacy and media.
The recognition is crafted to celebrate meaningful contribution, resilience and measurable impact rather than popularity. Profiles of the honourees will appear in the upcoming edition of W.O.W Business Magazine, a curated publication that documents the leadership ethos, experiences and achievements of African women shaping the continent’s future.
Monday, 9 March 2026 — W.O.W Africa 100 Founding Members Breakfast
Following the honours ceremony, W.O.W will convene the W.O.W Africa 100 Founding Members Breakfast — an exclusive, closed-door chamber intended for strategic engagement among top women leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and professionals.
The session is structured as a high-level dialogue focused on:
• Building shared influence rather than individual competition
• Strengthening cross-border cooperation among African women
• Expanding wealth creation through ownership, access and strategic partnerships
• Developing African-led institutions and economic ecosystems
• Advancing collective economic power beyond recognition and awards
This gathering reflects W.O.W’s conviction that the continent achieves progress faster when women collaborate intentionally and consistently.
The Vision of W.O.W Africa
Founded by South African entrepreneur and wealth strategist Lelo N, W.O.W Africa was created to fill a major gap in the leadership and economic development landscape. While African women increasingly drive growth and innovation, few platforms fully centre their economic voice, strategic collaboration and multi-generational legacy.
Fluent in Kiswahili and active in continental engagement, Lelo N champions a vision of cross-cultural accessibility and pan-African inclusion. “W.O.W Africa is about amplifying shared power,” she said. “It is about women shaping markets, influencing policy and opening opportunities collectively across borders.”
W.O.W Africa operates as an interconnected ecosystem that brings together recognition, dialogue, storytelling and partnership — all in service of Africa’s long-term prosperity.
Looking Ahead — W.O.W Africa 50 Men
As part of its broader commitment to inclusive leadership, W.O.W Africa will host W.O.W Africa 50 Men on 6 June 2026. The event will recognise influential African men who model ethical leadership, support women’s advancement and contribute to building a more inclusive and collaborative economic landscape.
Together, these platforms reinforce W.O.W Africa’s belief that sustainable development and continental progress are achieved through partnership, not rivalry.
W.O.W Africa is presented by The Lelo N Foundation and The House of W.O.W, reflecting their shared commitment to African excellence, prosperity and legacy-driven leadership.
