Bonang Matheba to become first ever recipient of the 5 For Changemaker Award

Bonang Matheba is set to receive an honor award for the first ever recipient of the 5 For Changemaker Award. This is at this year’s 5 For Change Black Tie Gala event.

The gala will be in Johannesburg on the 27th of October. It is set to highlight five inspiring social enterprises.

Maps Maponyane will be the MC, with live performances by Lady Zamar.

In the gala, Bonang will be awarded in recognition of her work as the founder of The Bonang Matheba Bursary Fund. Also, for using her platform to advance social justice issues in South Africa and around the world.

According to the Managing Director, this is the reason Bonang was selected. “There is nobody in South Africa that better exemplifies the exact combination of social change leadership. A celebration of glamour that 5 For Change strives to bring to life each year with our Galas than Bonang. She is our dream choice to be our first 5 For Changemaker Award recipient and we are honoured she will join us to accept the award and help ring in what we know will be our grandest event yet!”
