Women reclaim their voices through Divas Repartee initiative
Divas Repartee national tour gives women a platform to speak, connect, and lead.
Acclaimed actress, producer, and women’s advocate Nambitha Mpumlwana officially launched The Divas Repartee, the flagship experience of her groundbreaking women’s empowerment initiative, Diva Nexus.
Held at Thyme on Nicol in Hurlingham, the inaugural luncheon was a celebration of women coming together not as spectators, but as leaders, creators, and storytellers.

The event marked the beginning of a national tour aimed at giving women the platform to speak, connect, and inspire change.
Mpumlwana said, “The Divas Repartee is an invitation for women to reclaim their space in every conversation. It is an invitation for women to gather, to speak, to connect, and to rise.”
“For generations, women have carried the stories of others in silence. This is where we reclaim the microphone, where our truths, our wisdom and our collective power take their rightful place in the narrative.”
Central to the day was actress and activist Florence Masebe, whose story of surviving a shooting 26 years ago left the room in awe. Her message of resilience and empowerment resonated deeply.
“Whilst people may see a dot on the page, that dot is the beginning of your life’s canvas where you may draw and drive your own life and ambition. The dots on my page once stood as my bullets; now they stand as reminders of resilience. Women’s voices matter, they heal, they inspire, they lead.”

The luncheon was more than networking; it was a community of women, fostering conversations that sparked creativity, collaboration, and collective purpose amongst women coming from different backgrounds.
From heartfelt stories to laughter and reflection, each moment celebrated women’s strength, wisdom, and courage.
Mpumlwana reminded attendees of the power of dialogue. “Conversations among women are more than talk; they are movement. They are the momentum for change, action, and celebration.”
“Through The Divas Repartee, women across South Africa are reclaiming the microphone, telling their own stories, and creating a space where resilience, connection, and empowerment thrive.”
