You have to take your hat off to Kass Naidoo, who has not only taken a cricket bat to the glass ceiling of male sports commentary, but has switched the spotlight on sporting "sheroes" through the gsport awards.
At the women's sports awards the physically gifted swapped their tracksuits for gowns at The Venue in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, last Saturday night.
The first person I meet isn't a sportswoman but the mother of South Africa's most famous female celeb.
Charlotte "Mom of Queen Mis-Spelling Bee Bonang" Mokoena, was there representing the night's sponsor, Sasol, where she's the executive vice-president for human resources and corporate affairs.
Charlotte is looking as gorgeous as her daughter always does, in a silver sequinned dress. I compliment her on her gown but we don't have time to chat about that book before she is whisked off for a TV interview.
Inside, I am greeted by Uyanda Mbuli, who used to go to the opening of envelopes but now tries (often unsuccessfully) to stay out of the tabloids, and another face who used to be a fixture on our TV screens, Katie Mohamed, who now is more involved behind the scenes.
Then it's onto the official proceedings. We are welcomed by hosts Andile Ncube and Mpho Maboi. Maboi did that "multiple changes routine" that women awards MCs do these days, and I will give Robert Marawa's MetroFM sports replacement a bronze for frocks that were nice but not wow.
When politicians are in the room you can expect speeches and while Sports Minister Thulas Nxesi doesn't have the razzmatazz of Fikile Mbalula, he does set the right tone when he acknowledges that support for women sport "is one of the key areas which we need to grow"...
