Now in its third year, the event continues its legacy of providing a platform for inspiration, empowerment, and networking, bringing South Africans face-to-face with some of the country’s top leaders, innovators, and trailblazers.
This year promises to be no different, with a dynamic line-up of speakers who will share their stories of resilience, innovation, and legacy-building. This year’s theme, ‘Own Your Legacy,’ challenges attendees to not only build a successful career but to intentionally create a lasting impact.
The 2025 MANCOSA Jacaranda FM Business Breakfast will feature:

- Patrick Lambie, the former Springbok rugby legend turned property developer will share insights from his transition from the sports field to the corporate world, highlighting the importance of adaptability and resilience.
- Mamokgethi Phakeng, businesswoman, philanthropist, and former Vice Chancellor of UCT, affectionately known as ‘Deputy Mother’. She will inspire with her story of championing education through the Adopt-a-Learner Foundation and the role education plays in preparing future leaders.
