AEF will honour Cde Nkosana for her indisputable role and as a trailblazer in the upliftment and empowerment of women across the African Continent. Dr Nkosazana's commitment and dedication in improving the lives of the poor and the working class has earned her several local and international awards. During her tenure as African Union Chairperson, Dr Nkosazana championed a strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation of the African continent over the next 50 years, which seeks to accelerate the implementation of past and existing continental initiatives for growth and sustainable development.

Her distinguished leadership skills are more required during the era of fundamentally changing the structure, systems, institutions and patterns of ownership, management and control of the economy in favour of all South Africans, especially the poor, the majority of whom are African and youth and women.
Dr Nkosazana's indisputable experience in African Union and South African cabinet has armed her with expertise in governance required to intensified the fight against fraud and corruption, reaffirms the rule of law in the country and to address the challenges of inequality, unemployment and poverty in South Africa. With her commitment and dedication to education and health, unreservedly she support acceleration of the implementation of National Health Insurance Scheme and the realisation of free access to free education from primary level to undergraduate studies. Her understanding of the plight of the landless South Africans makes her to unreservedly support the speedy implementation of land redistribution.

The ANCWL congratulates Dr Nkosazana for the AEF awards. She is a tried and tested cadre of the ANC who serves with humility, integrity and selflessness.
