Topic: From Stage to Boardroom: Lessons in Business, Leadership, Resilience and Personal Branding

Yvonne Chaka Chakais a South African icon, celebrated performing artist, entrepreneur, business woman, teacher, and humanitarian. She began her career as the first black child to appear on South African television in 1981 and rose to fame at nineteen when discovered by Dephon Records in 1985, earning the title "Princess of Africa." Over the years, she expanded her talents, becoming a singer, record producer, talk show host, and actress, with roles in films and popular telenovelas such as Giyani: Land of Blood and Uzalo.

Throughout her career, Yvonne has shared the stage with global luminaries, including Nelson Mandela, Queen Elizabeth II, Michael Jackson, and Oprah Winfrey. Her performances have taken her across Africa and the world, leading her to become a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and advocate for global health after losing a band member to malaria. In 2006, she founded The Princess of Africa Foundation, focusing on health and education for communities across Africa.

Yvonne's advocacy extends to promoting social justice, education, and women's empowerment. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including the WEF Crystal Award, BET International Global Good Power Award, and a Crans Montana Forum's Gold Medal. During the pandemic, she launched WOMan Radio, an online platform for women, continuing her mission of empowerment.

Her achievements also include pioneering the BVSM Awards to honour session musicians and releasing recent singles celebrating the legacies of Bra Hugh Masekela and Oliver Mtukuzi. Yvonne's contributions to music and humanitarian efforts have solidified her as one of Africa's most influential and beloved figures.
