Annette Havenga 

Journalist, Writer, Radio Presenter & Advertising Agent at Happening News SA & Radio Overberg 101.8FM 

Annette Havenga is a dynamic storyteller and media professional with a passion for people and purpose. As a journalist, writer, radio presenter, and advertising agent, she wears many hats—each one driven by her commitment to uplift voices and create meaningful impact. 

A proud member of the WomenIN Creator Board, Annette is excited by the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded changemakers. “To work alongside phenomenal women to drive inclusivity, break barriers, and uplift others is an honour,” she says. 

For Annette, collaboration among women is essential. “We understand the unique challenges of balancing career, business, and home life. Standing together empowers us all.” 

She encourages everyone to attend WiN Fest 2025, calling it “the place where it all happens”—a vibrant, inspiring celebration filled with networking, knowledge, and actionable ideas 

What excites you about being a part of the WomenIN Creator Board? 

The opportunity to work with, network and collaborate with like-minded people and help to break barriers is an honour. I am looking forward to be at the forefront with these phenomenal women to help drive inclusivity whilst uplifting and inspiring others.   
 

Why is it important for women to collaborate? 

Women understand the challenges of managing a career, business, home, private and family life better than anyone else. If we don’t stand and work together, how can we expect the rest of the world to support us in in our ventures? We can learn from each other and move forward through collaboration. 

Why should people attend WiN Fest 2025? 

This is where it happens! It is an exciting and vibrant festival filled to the brim with networking opportunities and attendees all leave inspired, full of knowledge and with a pocket full of ideas to fulfill their visions.
