Exceptional Women, Extraordinary Legacies: talking art and investment

When visionary women gather to discuss the art of creating lasting impact, powerful conversations unfold. Last night’s exclusive event proved that true legacy isn’t built — it’s crafted with intention, purpose, and undeniable influence.

Last night in Johannesburg, The Art of Legacy gathered some of South Africa’s most inspiring women for an evening of dialogue and connection. Presented by Private Clients by Old Mutual Wealth in partnership with YourLuxury Africa, the event — held at the prestigious Strauss & Co ­— showcased the power of legacy-building through leadership, wealth, and influence.

A Powerhouse Panel Takes Centre Stage

The evening’s highlight was an engaging panel discussion featuring luminaries Lulama Wolf, acclaimed artist and cultural innovator; Khetiwe McClain, Executive Director at Strauss & Co.; and moderator Anelisa Mangcu, renowned broadcaster and thought leader. They were joined by Sarette van den Heever, a visionary wealth strategist from Private Clients by Old Mutual Wealth, whose expertise in crafting enduring financial legacies added depth to the conversation.

Defining Legacy Beyond Wealth

The discussion explored what it means to create a lasting impact—not just through wealth, but through vision, leadership, and cultural contribution. Lulama shared insights on how art shapes identity and heritage, while Khetiwe emphasised the role of intentionality in building personal and professional legacies. Sarette provided a strategic perspective, highlighting how thoughtful wealth management can empower generational change. Anelisa masterfully guided the dialogue, drawing out reflections on resilience, purpose, and the unique challenges women face in leadership.

With its blend of intellectual rigour and elegant sophistication, The Art of Legacy underscored a powerful truth: true legacy is not just about what we leave behind, but how we shape the future.

The Ripple Effect of Purpose-Driven Leadership

Private Clients by Old Mutual Wealth and YourLuxury Africa continue to champion such transformative conversations, proving that leadership, when rooted in purpose, creates ripples far beyond a single evening.
