When women succeed, the impact reaches far beyond business. It creates opportunities, strengthens communities and helps shape a more inclusive economy.

We recognise Zanele Khomo, Chief Growth Officer at the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry NPC, whose work in driving growth reflects the role women continue to play in shaping the business landscape.

As Zanele says, “When women succeed, businesses grow and communities thrive, helping build an inclusive future and create a better world.”

A reminder that when women are given the opportunity to lead, grow and succeed, the impact is felt far beyond themselves.

When women have a meaningful place in the economy, the impact goes far beyond business.

This Women’s Month, we spotlight Nomonde Dinizulu-Shezi, Women In Business Compact Lead at the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry NPC and Managing Director & Co-Founder at HumanInsights. Her work reflects a commitment to creating opportunities for women to lead, build and contribute to the economy.

As Nomonde shares, “When women are intentionally designed into the economy, we unlock businesses that endure, stronger communities, and a stronger future.” Through Women of the Chamber, we celebrate women whose leadership and contribution continue to shape a stronger business landscape.

The Durban Chamber continues to create platforms that connecting women, creating opportunities and strengthening their participation in business contributes to a more resilient and inclusive economy. Through Women of the Chamber, we celebrate women who connect, collaborate and lead, while playing a meaningful role in shaping the future of the business environment.
