In 2017, Coral Communications played an integral role in the launch and execution of the African Leaders for Change Awards. The inaugural event was held at the esteemed Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, and was officially hosted by international actress Lynn Whitfield and Senegalese political strategist and businessman Thione Niang.

The event honored several distinguished individuals, including advocate for women's and children's rights and former First Lady of South Africa, Graça Machel; Ndaba Mandela, representing the Nelson Mandela Foundation; and the Vice President and Managing Director of NBA Africa, Amadou Gallo Fall. The African Leaders for Change Awards garnered extensive media coverage, with notable features in Forbes Africa and CNBC Africa.

The evening's entertainment was exceptional, featuring performances by Yvonne Chaka-Chaka, Jah Prayzah, 2Face Idibia, and others.

To promote the African Leaders for Change Awards, the project team assembled various artists with connections to Africa to collaborate on the promotional track "Song for Africa." This song included contributions from Jah Prayzah, Akon, Fally Ipupa, P Square, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, 2Baba, and Youssou N'Dour.
