2001 • 5th Annual SAWW Awards

It was a night of elegance, glitter, glamour, good food, incredible music and pride when South African Women for Women honoured the recipients of this year's awards at a posh ceremony held at the Sheraton Hotel in Downtown, Toronto. There were many highlights but singer, Sibongile Khumalo  thrilled everyone  with her magnificant voice. It was truly amazing
