A movement celebrating women — every day of the year.

Tribute To Women is the annual flagship of the Malibongwe Arts Festival Foundation NPC — a charitable movement dedicated to the upliftment and empowerment of women across South Africa.

Why Tribute To Women exists

To protect and uplift South African women and their families. To create the spaces — live, on-air and online — where women are celebrated, heard, connected to opportunity, and given the tools to build stronger financial futures. With Assupol as the Official Financial Wellness Partner, the festival is the heartbeat of a year-round programme.

How the platform works

One profile gives you festival access, wellness resources, and the Women's Marketplace. Underneath, it's powered by GO Mzansi — the same platform infrastructure used to mobilise women, vendors and partner brands at national scale.
