Trailblazers
The ‘Trailblazers’ initiative, an ongoing partnership between Empowerdex and Citadel, serves to recognise South Africa’s top black business people and the immense contribution they have made to transformation in this country. As pioneers of Black Economic Empowerment, these individuals have laid the foundation for the leaders of tomorrow to follow in their footsteps and have become inspiring role models for a new generation of young professionals.
Empowerdex conducts intensive research into black management representation on the JSE, and identifies the trailblazers whose achievements should be celebrated. The Trailblazers book, which was launched by Citadel and Empowerdex in 2007, takes an in-depth look at their lives, lessons, journeys and successes and provides important lessons for the trailblazers of the future.
We are very proud to be a part of Trailblazers, and look forward to it growing in stature and momentum year after year.
