Transformation - Women in Engineering “Celebrating the Woman in You”. Bosch Stemele not only acknowledges the importance of transformation in its entirety, but recognises and highly respects women in the civil engineering industry. The East London Regional office recently hosted their first extremely successful Woman’s Day Luncheon, where there was a good spread of clients and peers alike from various industries, some travelling from far afield. Our Managing Director, Danai Magugumela, who was also in attendance, is the recipient of numerous awards and in addition to her many qualifications, Danai has an exceptional track record in the industry, spanning over 20 years. She holds an MSc in Civil Engineering and is a Registered Professional Engineer. She is also a Fellow of the Academy of Engineering and serves on the Board and Built Environment Advisory Committee of the University of Pretoria. Danai gave an enlightening talk entitled, Celebrating the Woman in You, which was the theme for the day. In what was traditionally known as a male dominated environment, women have certainly made a powerful mark in the industry from entry level, to management and directorship level, thus marking the dawn of a new era. Guests were also provided with a motivational dialogue on “finding a balance between work and life”.
