Call for nominations: Empowerment and Recognition of Women in Construction (ERWIC) Awards

Dear Suppliers,

The Empowerment and Recognition of Women in Construction (ERWIC) Awards aim to celebrate and recognise exceptional achievements and contributions of women in the construction industry. One of the categories in the ERWIC Awards specifically focuses on recognising disabled women-owned entities. However, in the past, the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) noticed a lack of participation in this category, with only one entry since 2020.

To rectify this for the 2024 awards, the CIDB is seeking your recommendations for eligible and deserving women-owned contractors living with a disability who should be recognised in this category.

Your support in spreading awareness about the ERWIC Awards and encouraging potential candidates to participate would be invaluable. If you know any contractors who fit this criterion, we kindly ask you share their details with the following CIDB officials:

• Thanduxolo Ndyenge | Provincial Manager: Western Cape  | Tel: (021) 488 5861 Mobile: 084 585 4083 Email: ThanduxoloN@cidb.org.za
• Theresa Mtshali | Marketing Officer | Tel: (012) 482 7389 Mobile: (012) 482 7389 Email: TheresaM@cidb.org.za   

Your support in promoting inclusivity and diversity within the construction industry is greatly appreciated. Together, we can ensure that deserving individuals receive the recognition they deserve.
