THE Shoprite Group has announced the start of this year’s nationwide search for the most outstanding women in South Africa to be honoured with the Shoprite Checkers Women of the Year Award.

The winners will receive individual prize money and Shoprite will give R100 000 towards the work they do for a better future. Furthermore the Shoprite Checkers Women of the Year Award will honour an esteemed South African who during her or his lifetime has inspired generations. The public will be asked to nominate the Lifetime Achiever who will receive R100 000 to donate to a cause which the recipient believes will better the lives of South Africans. The closing date for nominations is Friday 29 April. Entry forms are at Shoprite or Checkers stores or visit www.womenoftheyear.co.za.
