I am impactful, I deliver what I need to deliver, I am qualified and I&#8217;m highly capable,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also encourages women building their careers to understand the value they bring, make their contributions visible and intentionally surround themselves with people who will support their professional growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of Africa&#8217;s leading<strong> gaming, casino and hospitality<\/strong> operators, Sun International is using the campaign to highlight the contributions of women leaders across its business during Women&#8217;s Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company said the remaining episodes in the four-part series will feature other women leaders from across the business, sharing their experiences, leadership philosophies and advice for the next generation of professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also extending its Women&#8217;s Month celebrations beyond the leadership series. Its <strong>Flamingo Casino<\/strong> in Kimberley will host Empower Her Resilience on August 29, bringing together guests for an event featuring music, storytelling and motivational speaking that celebrates the strength and resilience of women. According to Sun International, the programme will also provide a platform for local artists, creatives and community performers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/06\/GrandWest-Mall-Sod-turning-ceremony-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/africa\/sun-internationals-grandwest-casino-expansion-officially-begins-construction\">Sun International&#8217;s\u00a0GrandWest\u00a0casino expansion officially begins construction\u00a0<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four-part leadership series debuts ahead of National Women&#8217;s Day, spotlighting female executives shaping Sun International&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2809,"featured_media":30636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Sun International, a prominent African gaming and hospitality group, has launched a four-part \"Women Who Shape Tomorrow\" leadership series and other initiatives for South Africa's Women's Month.
