Cape Town Celebrates Excellence as Men of Valour and Women of Wonder Awards Return

Cape Town’s social and business calendar is set to shine as the prestigious Men of Valour (MOV) Awards and Women of Wonder (WOW) Awards return in 2026, with Cape Town This Month proudly serving as a media partner to both landmark events. These celebrated platforms continue to honour individuals whose impact extends beyond personal success into meaningful social upliftment and empowerment.

Set to take place at the Southern Sun The Cullinan, the awards recognise “ordinary extraordinary” men and women who are shaping communities, driving entrepreneurship and inspiring future generations.

The MOV Awards have previously honoured influential figures such as Shahaan Ramkissoon, Ashraf Garda and Vivan Reddy, alongside hundreds of leaders making tangible contributions across sectors. Similarly, the WOW Awards boast an impressive legacy of recipients including Zoleka Mandela, Carol Bouwer, Siba Mtongana, Jenny Morris and Rachel Kolisi—women who continue to redefine leadership and impact both locally and globally.

This year’s Cape Town nominees represent a dynamic cross-section of the city’s talent, resilience and innovation. From entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to community champions, the calibre of nominees reflects a city deeply committed to progress and inclusion.

As anticipation builds for this elegant evening of recognition, Cape Town This Month extends its heartfelt congratulations to all Cape Town nominees. Your dedication, vision and commitment to uplifting others embody the very spirit of these awards.

In celebrating these individuals, the MOV and WOW Awards once again reinforce an important message: true success lies not only in achievement, but in the ability to inspire, empower and create lasting change.
