Cape Town - The inaugural Citadel Inspiration Indaba, taking place on September 2 2014 in Johannesburg, will offer a platform for home-grown success stories to be celebrated and shared.
Conceptualised and hosted by Citadel, the Inspiration Indaba is aimed at showcasing the stories of ordinary South Africans who get up every day to do extraordinary things.
The line-up of speakers will include some of the country’s noteworthy entrepreneurs, trail blazers, thought leaders, innovators and business leaders.
They include Herman Mashaba, a serial entrepreneur and founder of the Black Like Me range, Siya Xuza, a young SA rocket scientist, Harvard graduate and energy technology entrepreneur and Lee Swan, a business strategist and the first African woman to reach the Magnetic North Pole in 2011.
"The idea for the Inspiration Indaba came from our belief that everyone has a story and that everyone has a passion they wish to pursue," said Citadel’s marketing director Andrew Finlayson.
"By offering a platform for rich narrative, engagement and debate, fellow South Africans can inspire each other to tap into and fulfil their unique potential."
Other speakers at the Inspiration Indaba will include Paddy Upton (South African leadership coach and former cricketer), Rob Stokes (modern-day tech entrepreneur and founder of the multi-national Quirk Marketing) and Adrian Saville (well-known economist and investment specialist).
The Inspiration Indaba will also host a panel discussion focusing on inspiring the next generation of South African entrepreneurs.
Panelists will include Sean Riley, Andile Khumalo and Lynette Ntuli.
