MANCOSA and Jacaranda FM Announce Inspiring Business Breakfast Line-Up to Help South Africans 'Own Their Legacy'

Jacaranda FM and MANCOSA are proud to announce the return of their highly anticipated Business Breakfast, a flagship event designed to inspire and empower South Africa's next generation of leaders. 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:

• Grace Harding, CEO of Ocean Basket and a corporate coach who has taken a proudly South African brand global with branches in over 16 countries. Harding will unpack the leadership skills, mistakes, and hard-won lessons that shaped her journey to international success.
• Graeme Codrington, the globally recognised futurist, who will explore business trends shaping the future, including the role of AI, technological innovation, and leadership in tomorrow’s workplace.
• 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.

Guests can look forward to a morning packed with powerful insights, networking, and inspiration in an environment designed to inspire action and legacy-building.
