By MABEL MOSIAMEDI
SOWETO – Women came together on Saturday, 7 November 2026, for a day dedicated to sisterhood, inspiration and empowerment as Tumi Online hosted its much-anticipated Sisterhood Retreat at the YWCA Hall in Dube, Soweto.
Hosted by Tumi Nkosi, the retreat created a platform centred on connecting women, uplifting one another and encouraging personal growth, with a strong message that empowered women play an important role in building stronger futures.
Running from 11:00 to 16:00, the event brought together the spirit of sisterhood under the theme “Suited”, celebrating confidence, individuality and the power of women coming together with a shared purpose.
The retreat was designed to go beyond an ordinary women’s gathering, placing emphasis on meaningful conversations, personal development, wellness and networking opportunities.
With its guiding message, “Connect. Uplift. Empower,” the programme highlighted the importance of creating spaces where women can share experiences, inspire one another and build meaningful connections.
The programme featured a diverse line-up of speakers bringing experience in coaching, entrepreneurship, media, healthcare, business strategy, and wellness:
Bongi Mlotshwa – Businesswoman, podcaster, mentor, and award-winning make-up guru
Mathapelo Falatsa – Author, business accountant, tax practitioner, and founder
Thato Ditshego – Physiotherapist
Jessica Msibi-Facebook ADS Specilist
Maphathi Ndlovu-Sithole – Community experience manager with a background in media and advertising.
The event also included live entertainment performances by Tenacity and Lady GP [Jozi FM]
Guests were welcomed with drinks, adding a warm touch to an afternoon dedicated to celebrating women and the journeys they continue to navigate.
The choice of the theme, “Suited”, carried a message of showing up with confidence, embracing one’s identity and recognising the strength that comes from knowing one’s worth.
At a time when women continue to balance personal responsibilities, careers, businesses and family life, platforms such as the Sisterhood Retreat serve as an important reminder of the value of support, encouragement and collective growth.
Through Tumi Online, Tumi Nkosi continues to champion conversations that celebrate women, their stories and their potential.
The Sisterhood Retreat reinforced a powerful message: when women support one another, they create opportunities not only for individual success but also for lasting change within their communities.
Real Women. Real Stories. Lasting Change.
