August is Women’s Month. What does this special month in honour of women mean to you?

Women's Day is more than a date on the calendar, it is a reminder of the courage of South African women, the fight for equality and the role women continue to play in shaping communities.

Candice Sepengu: August celebrates strength, growth and purpose. As a young women navigating the professional world, I'm motivated by women who take bold leadership roles and encourage others to achieve success. Let's continue to push limits, shatter ceilings and encourage each other. Happy Women's Day to all the unstoppable women making history today!
Angel Shiboro: For me it is about being thankful for all the women in my life from different walks of life and celebrating the fact that women have rights.
Thandeka Shabangu: I don't believe women are given as many job opportunities as men, and men are more likely to be promoted. Nonetheless, wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo.
Monica Muheleketi: I feel women are not appreciated as much as men. Appreciation vanishes after Women's Day. To every woman, your resilience, kindness and courage matter.
Busisiwe Gatebe: I celebrate Women's Month because I'm now able to work, wear what I'm comfortable in and get an education. I celebrate the women who have fought to get us to where we are.
