MultiChoice celebrates Women’s Month
The open-ended ‘She Can Be’ message speaks to the limitless potential of women in the local and international business space, with MultiChoice continuing to platform women across leadership; wellness and workplace culture; broadcasting industry stewardship; anti-piracy and content protection; innovation and entrepreneurship, and the broader creative economy – all in advance of and beyond Women’s Month.
‘She Can Be’ launches through fireside conversations-style vodcast, The Multi-Perspective Series. Over five weekly episodes, Claire Mawisa will engage in conversations with high-profile women across broadcast and content regulation, HR, engineering, technology, and media.
The first episode airs on 5 August 2026 and is available on MultiChoice’s YouTube platform.
Through the wisdom gleaned from each speaker’s years of experience in leadership, they will tackle how they embody ‘She Can Be,’ how fellow women may be inspired to do the same, and how industries can foster environments where women are fully actualised.
The series includes contributions from internal MultiChoice leaders Lara Kantor, General Manager: Regulatory, and Kezia Malinga, Head of HR, and representatives from three MultiChoice Innovation Fund (MIF) beneficiaries: Takalani Leago (Founder and CEO of Luvhone Engineering and Consulting Partners), Limu co-founders Sifiso Danisa (CEO) and Sphumelelo Sibeko (Chief Marketing Officer), and Fazila Bismilla, Director at FazMedia.

MultiChoice proud to honour women
Itumeleng Thulare, Head of Corporate Affairs at MultiChoice, explained that the campaign not only allows the broadcaster to showcase the tangible outcomes of the opportunities it continues to provide to women, but also platforms the heights women can reach.
“When we spotlight a female filmmaker, a tech pioneer, or a sporting icon under the campaign banner, we are not just celebrating a person; we are showcasing the result of a culture that fosters growth and provides the tools for greatness.
“Women’s Month needs to move beyond celebration into the delivery of perpetual, equal visibility, access, support and opportunity. As a storytelling giant, we have the unique opportunity and authority to continuously empower women in the media and tech landscape.”
To affirm this commitment and in continuation of the campaign, MultiChoice will also be lending its weight to September’s annual Standard Bank Top Women Conference as a sponsor, leading ‘She Can Be’ into a broader platform spotlighting women entrepreneurs and innovators.
