As one of South Africa\u2019s most prestigious gender-empowerment events, the Standard Bank Top Women Awards recognises organisations and individuals whose efforts are uplifting women in business and society.

No stranger to awards, Carol received the 2018 \u2018CEO Today Magazine Africa\u2019 award, the 2017 \u2018Woman in MICE Newsmaker of the Year\u2019 award, and the \u2018Entrepreneur of the Year\u2019 award at the 2012 Virgin Active Sport Industry Awards, among others. At previous Standard Bank Top Women Awards, Carol took home the 2014 \u2018Top Female Entrepreneur of the Year\u2019 award and was also a finalist in the \u2018Businesswoman of the Year\u2019 category last year.<\/p>\n

Finalists and winners at the Standard Bank Top Women Awards have been a source of inspiration to women and men in business, encouraging their industry peers to break new boundaries and innovate wherever possible. With her excellent performance in the tourism industry, Carol Weaving hopes to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel so privileged to, once again, be a finalist in such a groundbreaking event that both acknowledges the impact South African women are having across industries, as well as providing inspiration to the upcoming female influencers,\u201d said Carol. \u201cConsidering the caliber of past winners in this particular category, as well as incredible women involved this year, I am completely overwhelmed by my inclusion and grateful for the honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
