We’re celebrating the women who help shape South Africa Wine every day. They keep projects moving, ideas flowing, and stories unfolding. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing you to some of the women behind the work.

Meet the Comms department:

This team ensures that South Africa Wine speaks with clarity, consistency, and purpose. From internal updates to digital campaigns and brand messaging, they help shape how we connect within the organisation and with the wider world.

Wanda Augustyn is our calm in the chaos. She has a knack for crafting the big picture and ensuring we show up clearly and confidently in the world. Whether she’s leading our brand work, guiding messaging, or editing the next edition of WineLand, Wanda brings direction and a lot of heart to everything she touches.

Whether it’s launching a campaign or organising a staff event, Adéle Changuion is already on it. She manages our key digital channels and internal communications, keeping everyone connected and informed across multiple platforms.

Martina Newman is the quiet engine that keeps things moving. She’s behind the systems and spreadsheets, making sure our contact lists are spotless and our projects stay on track. If it runs smoothly, Martina probably had something to do with it.
