The Fairmont Zimbali Lodge & Resort Hotel hosted the iLembe Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism Gala Dinner in their newly launched Conference Facility’s Hibiscus Room on the 10th of May 2018.

Nedbank was once again partnering with the iLembe business community in presenting this event. “It was an honour for our Chamber that Professor Thuli Madonsela accepted our invitation to be the guest speaker at the event,” said Cobus Oelofse.

Professor Madonsela, an advocate that helped draft our final Constitution, is well known for her role as the Public Protector of South Africa between 2009 and 2016. She was named in 2014 as one of the world’s top 100 most influential people by Time Magazine, who described her as “an inspirational example of what African public officers need to be”. In 2016 she was Forbes African Person of the Year.
