North West Business Awards

Our story

A province overflowing with ambition deserves a platform built to match it.

Vision & Mission

To be the definitive annual platform for business excellence in the North West Province.

A nationally recognised event that elevates the province's entrepreneurs onto a stage commensurate with their ambition, their resilience, and their contribution to the South African economy.

Mission

To identify, celebrate, and amplify the most outstanding businesses and entrepreneurs in the North West Province through a credible, inclusive, and high-impact annual awards programme that drives investment, builds networks, and inspires the next generation.

The four pillars

Built to earn — and sustain — trust.

Integrity

An IRBA-audited selection process. Results sealed until the live awards presentation.

Inclusivity

13 categories spanning every major sector — township, rural, peri-urban and formal businesses.

Impact

A platform connecting MSMEs to capital, markets, government ESD and procurement networks.

Inspiration

A live, televised, blue-carpet event making business excellence as aspirational as sport.

Founder & CEO

Kgosi Motsile Mosiah

Founder, Director & Executive Producer

Having worked across the North West economy as a fund manager channelling investment into mining communities, a media producer telling provincial stories, and an event producer convening the conversations that move the province forward — the founder encountered the same gap in every role: a province overflowing with entrepreneurial energy, but with no platform large enough or credible enough to celebrate it.

The NWBA is the answer. Not a vanity award. Not a Gauteng-centric platform parachuting in. A provincially owned, provincially governed, and provincially celebrated institution — built to last five editions and beyond.
