Today, Artscape’s CEO, Dr Marlene Le Roux, was selected by the City of Cape Town as one of the Invest Cape Town Goodwill Ambassadors — a pioneering initiative designed to strengthen business and investor confidence in our city. In this esteemed role, she proudly represents both Artscape Theatre and the broader arts community.
The Invest Cape Town Goodwill Ambassadors reflect the diversity of the city’s key growth industries, each bringing decades of expertise, leadership, and global influence. Among this distinguished cohort are world-class business leaders and professionals who are driving bold initiatives to position Cape Town as Africa’s leading destination for business and investment.
Despite their varied fields, the ambassadors share a powerful common purpose: a deep and uncompromising commitment to Cape Town — its people, its future, and the collective responsibility to grow the workforce and uplift communities across the city.
Explore the full list of ambassadors to discover their rich industry experience, global networks, favourite dinner spots, and the quintessential Cape Town experiences they recommend to visitors and locals alike.
These are the faces championing why Cape Town remains the best place in the world to invest, live, and do business.
Dr Marlene Le Roux extends her heartfelt thanks to Alderman James Vos for this visionary initiative — recognising iconic institutions and empowering their leaders to amplify the City of Cape Town’s brand, foster investment, and deepen strategic partnerships for the benefit of all.
“Marlene is an ideal ambassador for Cape Town as her knowledge and passion of the local art scene is unmatched. Just like all the ambassadors, she was chosen because she is already a champion for Cape Town, bringing influence, credibility, diverse experience, and strong networks locally and globally. That’s exactly what the Invest Cape Town brand stands for, our City’s official business identity and the way we position Cape Town as a world-class place to invest and operate – Ald James Vos”
