The Islamic Business & Finance (IBF) industry in South Africa is relatively small and niche, yet it's steadily growing and emerging.

Recognizing the importance of women in IBF, particularly in the context of international roles, SANZAF's female management team has gained exposure to this industry.

In May 2022, SANZAF took a significant step by establishing the IBF Women's Network in South Africa. The organization has a broader vision to extend this network across Africa. The primary goal is to promote development, facilitate knowledge-sharing, exchange experiences, and create networking opportunities for like-minded women.

The networking platform aims to provide a space where women can connect with individuals who share their interests, exchange valuable experiences, and expand their professional networks.
