Deputy President Paul Mashatile will tomorrow, Saturday, 9 September 2023, attend and deliver the keynote address at the Forty Under 40 SA Awards, taking place at Houghton Hotel, Gauteng Province. 

The Forty Under 40 SA Awards celebrate and honour the nation’s most influential, accomplished, and inspiring South Africans under 40, across various sectors.

This year more than 350 nominations were received, and  the final 40 of these will be hailed as the most influential for their achievements in their respective areas. 

The awards are hosted by the Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, together with the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), in partnership with Xodus Communications (Pty) Ltd.

The Forty Under 40 SA Awards will be preceded by the Champion Summit, which is an interactive gathering that aims to empower and equip young leaders with the necessary skills, knowledge, and networks to drive positive change in their communities. The Summit promises to bring inspiring interactions, engaging workshops, and panel discussions, which will foster an environment for the exchange of ideas and personal development.
