Johannesburg

Each year, Egon Zehnder marks International Women’s Day by bringing together a range of voices to discuss the successes and challenges facing the next generation of professional women. In Johannesburg, South Africa, about 20 business leaders and their daughters gathered at The Orangery to share experiences of how the country has changed and how women can play a growing role in expanding these changes. In their youth, the leaders at the table all lived under Apartheid, the country’s policy of institutionalized racism that ended in 1994, some growing up in townships and all with limited opportunities to study or work.
