Women in Entertainment Power Breakfast at Fame Week Africa 2023 aims to bring together Africa’s top women in the entertainment industry

Cape Town – 28 August 2023 – The Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) is honoured to host the Women in Entertainment (WIE) Power Breakfast next week (5 September).

The highly anticipated breakfast sets to illuminate female African talent at FAME Week Africa 2023. FAME Week Africa, built by RX Africa, brings together African and global creative professionals, through events that focus on film, television, animation as well as music and entertainment technology.

This year’s breakfast, which takes place during FAME Week Africa 2023, will shine a light on the amazing contributions made by women on the continent in the entertainment industry.

The event will see the establishment of a “forum that will champion the cause of women in various aspects of entertainment, from film and television to music”.

CTICC CEO Taubie Motlhabane said: “At the CTICC, we believe in the power of women in driving change and innovation. We are honoured to be part of the WIE Power Breakfast, as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse industry.”

The breakfast will offer a supportive environment for women to network, learn from each other, and gain valuable insights for industry leaders.

The keynote address is set to be delivered by Mo Abudu, who has been described by Forbes as one of “Africa’s most successful woman”.

Abudu, a Nigerian media mogul and philanthropist, has been listed by the Hollywood Reporter as one of the “25 most powerful women in global television”.

In her quest to change the world’s perception of Africa, she has been instrumental in reshaping the African narrative on a global scale.

Martin Hiller, Portfolio Director of FAME Week Africa said: “The Women in Entertainment Power Breakfast is a crucial milestone for FAME Week Africa. By celebrating and elevating the incredible talent of women in the industry, we are forging a path towards a more equitable and vibrant future for African entertainment.”

The CTICC has always been an advocate for women’s empowerment and is proud to be a venue sponsor for what is set to be a ground-breaking event.

Other partners for the event include EarCandy.

The CTICC remains committed to safety and continues to operate during the ongoing taxi strike in Cape Town

Cape Town – 9 August 2023 – As the ongoing strike by the Cape Town taxi industry brought severe disruption in the city, the Cape Town International Convention Center (CTICC) has remained unscathed during the crisis that surrounds us.

Although several parts of the city came to a standstill during this time, the CTICC remained operational, while being committed to ensuring the safety of our clients, visitors, and staff.

We managed to continue operations with the Netball World Cup 2023, and the hosting of the BRICS Ministers of Communication Meeting without any incidents.

As a safety precaution, we arranged private transportation for our staff to travel to and from work for critical event operations during the taxi strike.

“For the staff who were unable to leave the city centre were provided with alternative accommodation overnight. Those travelling from hotspots were instructed to stay home or remain in a place of safety”, said Taubie Motlhabane, CEO of the CTICC.

“We take safety and security very seriously at the CTICC. As much as we are focused
on keeping the doors open for business, our first priority is always people. The safety of
our clients, visitors and staff surpasses any profit”, Motlhabane continued.

The CTICC has fostered good relationships with the various security services in the City and Province. These relationships have proved useful once more for the CTICC in the last few days.

Being well and timeously informed allows us to make the right decisions about safety at our venue and for the people we serve.

“Our security team will continue to monitor the situation with the help of the City of Cape Town’s Metro Police and Traffic Services and provide the necessary information to our stakeholders, as well as take the necessary precautions where relevant”.

The CTICC remains passionate about providing excellent customer service while ensuring the safety of all those around us.

We look forward to the positive resolution of the taxi strike.
