ABEY MOKGWATSANE – Managing Executive of Brand, Communications and Sponsorships at Vodacom, overseeing the brand across South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Prior to joining Vodacom in 2018, he was CEO of Ogilvy South Africa.

The contribution and role of black women in the development of the marketing industry is visibly missing. Multiple conversations are had about bridging this gap and giving opportunities to women of colour within the industry, but not much is being done about it. Industry leader, Abey Mokgwatsane has launched the Nnete Modise Bursary (named after his late grandmother).

DOUGLAS STUART has won the Booker Prize for SHUGGIE BAIN, his debut novel about a boy in 1980s Glasgow trying to support his mother as she struggles with addiction and poverty.

Chair of judges Margaret Busby said the judges' decision was unanimous and they only "took an hour to decide". The book is "challenging, intimate and grip-ping... anyone who reads it will never feel the same" she said.

The Booker prize is open to any novel written in English by an author of any nationality and four of this year's nominated books were written by debut novel-ists. All of this year's nominees are based outside the UK.
