The Mbokodo Awards is an annual event held to recognise women who have shown leadership, fostered growth and made efforts to strengthen the arts. The awards are a unique platform that consolidates the incredible work done by South African women through honouring their immense contribution in the fields of arts and culture.

Everard Read would like to congratulate Lady Skollie, the recipient of the 2019 Mbokodo Architecture & Design Award. Skollie is the youngest artist to design the new R5 coin currently in circulation.  "It was an honour, not only because I am a woman of colour in South Africa but it is the first time that they have ever opened this kind of process to the public." - Lady Skollie
