Says Jane Mosebi, ForgeAhead MD, "This year celebrates our 11th African ICT Achievers Programme.
"We are extremely excited that the awards have grown with such strong...commitment from the industry and that the African ICT Achievers Programme has made the impact that [it] has, in recognising and rewarding achievement and in creating role models for others to aspire to."
"We will also pull out all the stops to make sure that the corporate social investment component of this year's programme will cover a much larger community of ICT people in Africa," says Mosebi.
"Our donations to needy communities and schools must have a positive impact and be able to bridge the gap between the privileged and not so privileged.
"Also of great excitement is that on this 11th year anniversary of the awards, for the first time we will be focusing on regional winners from the African continent in all the categories.
"We have already received almost 200 nominations in the different categories. The quality of nomination is unsurpassed and as the facilitators of the programme, we are very proud to be associated with such worthy candidates.
"This tells us that what we are doing is growing and that the impact of our programme is reaching the furthest corners in Africa," concludes Mosebi.
