The Awards in their second year aim to recognise the outstanding achievements of Women in the Northern Cape Transport Industry.

They will highlight the contributions women make in delivering value services to their clients, and efforts in growing and developing their businesses.

Our aim as a department in having this prestigious event is to promote gender equality in the mainly male dominated Transport Industry.  We aim to encourage women to pursue careers in the field while stirring innovation and creativity.

The Women in Transport Awards will provide both individual and group recognition, and non-monetary rewards nominees.

The 20 nominees in the various categories are selected based on their contributions towards developing, supporting and empowering themselves and other women in the Province.
