On Tuesday, 30 August 2016, the Deputy Minister of Communications, Ms Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams will engage with women in ICT and broadcasting on empowerment strategies for women in the sector.
With women in South Africa only making up 20% of the ICT sector workforce as opposed to a 56% representation globally, this engagement session will be vital in devising means of bridging the industry’s gender divide.
The engagement session is led by the Black Information Technology Forum (BITF), an association of black individuals formed specifically to address the poor representation of black people in the ICT industry as both professionals and business operators.
Members of the media are invited to be part of this engagement session which will take place as follows:
Date: Tuesday, 30 August 2016
Venue: Hyatt Regency, Rosebank, Johannesburg
Time: 08h00
Journalists will be afforded interviews and photo opportunities.

Enquiries: Peter Gumede: 083 570 8080 or Nthabeleng Mokitimi-Dlamini: 073 222 5522
