This Women's Month, Mahoko Magazine proudly opens nominations for its inaugural Top 100 Women of Influence—a special commemorative edition dedicated to celebrating extraordinary women whose leadership, service and influence are transforming communities across South Africa, Africa and the world.

The world has enough celebrity magazines.

We exist to celebrate significance.

Do you know a woman whose work is creating lasting change?

Perhaps she is building a business that creates employment, leading a community initiative, mentoring young people, educating future generations, advancing healthcare, serving her community or making a meaningful impact in her profession.

She may not be famous.

She may never have appeared on television.

But her story deserves to be told.

Perhaps that woman is you.

This edition honours women whose contributions often go unnoticed, yet whose work continues to shape families, communities, industries and nations.

Who Can Be Nominated?

Nominations are open to women of all ages, professions, backgrounds, cultures and abilities who are making a meaningful contribution within their communities, organisations or industries.

Women may nominate themselves, or they may be nominated by family members, friends, colleagues, employers, organisations or community leaders.

Multiple nominations are welcome.
