Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence
For 15 years, the Rising Star Awards have recognised South Africa’s brightest young
professionals across 12 industry categories. With the support of over 70 esteemed judges each year, the programme continues to identify and honour the exceptional individuals who are driving innovation, leadership, and positive change across the country.
These young leaders are not only succeeding in their fields today but are actively shaping South Africa’s future. The Rising Star Awards shine a spotlight on these remarkable professionals, celebrating their achievements and inspiring the next generation of talent.
Nominations for the 2027 Rising Star Awards open in December 2026.
Be part of the journey as we discover the leaders of tomorrow.
