Honouree voices
Messages from 2026 honourees after the Johannesburg ceremony.
“This recognition is bigger than me. It belongs to every community I have had the privilege to serve. You are not only celebrating success, you are defining what true influence means: service, integrity, and legacy. Thank you for creating a platform that inspires a nation.”
“I have received many awards, but this one from Big M I have never seen. Everything, the standard was very high and excellent. Well organised from day one up to the last day. Next year I am going to register as an Ambassador, and I will register every year.”
“Being part of the Influential Awards has been such a meaningful experience. It was beautiful to connect with new people and to celebrate each other's successes. Thank you for giving us the platform to shine. The entertainment was incredible too.”
