Celebrating Trailblazing Leadership – Congratulations to Joani Jacobs, CEO of the Year!

At Mall For Women, we believe in celebrating powerful women who lead with purpose, passion, and a commitment to uplifting others. Today, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Joani Jacobs, the dynamic CEO of Mrs. South Africa and Ace Models International, on being named CEO of the Year at the prestigious Women of Stature Awards held on 12th April 2025.

This recognition is a shining testament to Joani’s unwavering dedication to empowering women, not only within the glamorous world of pageantry and modeling but across every space where women dare to dream and lead. Her leadership journey, as eloquently shared in her moving acceptance speech, reflects a mission rooted in service, purpose, and creating spaces where other women can rise.

 “Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about serving others, lifting them up, and creating space for others to shine.” – Joani Jacobs

Under Joani’s guidance, Mrs. South Africa has become more than a pageant—it is a platform of transformation, mentorship, and legacy. Her work inspires confidence and courage in countless women stepping into their power for the first time. Her influence reaches far beyond boardrooms, transforming lives in studios, on stages, and in hearts.

We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honor and salute Joani for being a beacon of inspiration. Her story aligns perfectly with our mission at Mall For Women—to empower women economically, socially, and personally.

To Joani, we say: thank you for walking boldly in your purpose and for encouraging us all to rise together.
