HERE FOR HER, HERE FOR AFRICA. Words by Tshepiso Malatjie Chief People Officer at MultiChoice Group

#HEREFORHER

African women have demonstrated exceptional leadership in various fields, from business and entrepreneurship to education and politics. Their innovative ideas and entrepreneurial spirit have fuelled economic growth and social progress. At MultiChoice Group, we are committed to fostering a workplace that values diversity, inclusion, and the empowerment of women. Recognising the pivotal role women play in shaping the future of our industry, we have implemented a comprehensive strategy to support their professional development and create a more equitable environment. There’s a clear demand to provide the right support to women professionals, it isn’t merely a moral obligation but a strategic imperative. Women bring so much to the fore, not only their skills and unique insights but their resilience to succeed at anything they put their minds to. To empower women at all levels, we've implemented initiatives like the Women in Sport Ally program and the Advancing Women's mentorship program. We also offer scholarships to women studying STEM subjects and have celebrated gender equality with campaigns like "Here for Her." Our leadership team is increasingly diverse, with 43% of our top and senior management positions held by women. We're investing in their development through programs like the Top Women Leaders initiative offered by GIBS. We're passionate about providing African households with essential entertainment and services. To achieve this, we're focusing on our people, and empowering women is a key component of our strategy. With 39 years of experience and a presence in 50 African countries, we're well-positioned to lead the industry. By fostering a culture of inclusion, providing opportunities for growth, and promoting gender equality, we're creating a more equitable and sustainable future for our business and the communities we serve. As the world continues to evolve, we'll remain dedicated to women's empowerment. We believe that by harnessing the talent and potential of our female workforce, we can achieve our vision of being the preferred platform for African households and enriching their lives.
