Franschhoek, 30 September 2026 – Spur Corporation has received the Reinvention Impact Award at the first Reinvention Fest, held on 28–29 September 2026 at Boschendal Estate in Franschhoek.

The award recognises an organisation that is actively applying the Reinvention Method and creating meaningful business, societal or systemic impact. Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva, founder of the Reinvention Academy, presented the award to Spur Corporation CMO Vuyokazi Henda in front of executives, entrepreneurs, investors and academics from across Africa and beyond.

Over the past five years, Spur Corporation has done more than apply the Reinvention Method. It has led it, setting the pace for the impact, influence and reach the method has had across the reinvention community. The group has built a dedicated innovation hub and a bench of certified reinvention practitioners that, according to the Reinvention Fest organisers, is now the largest of its kind in the world. Together, they have embedded experimentation, new value creation and future-fit leadership across a complex, listed business and its franchise network.
“Some organisations reinvent themselves. A few change what others believe is possible. Spur Corporation has done both, and much of the reinvention movement on this continent has their fingerprints on it. ” Gary Graham, Co-Founder, Reinvention Fest.

The judges recognised Spur Corporation for proving that reinvention can scale, not as an event, but as a way of operating, and for Leading for the Greater Good. “Reinvention has taken on a greater significance for Spur Corporation, as we are driven to keep pace with and serve changing customer needs. We have a long history of experimentation and innovation that’s unlocked tremendous value for franchisees and customers, partners, suppliers and the communities we operate in. We are honoured to be recognised for that,” Vuyokazi Henda, CMO and Executive Director, Spur Corporation.
