Women urged to take hands to raise the nation
The aim was to bring women of all ages, backgrounds and personalities together to support one another through the journey of womanhood.
LYDENBURG – August is Women’s Month and local women held a prestigious event in celebration at Dankhof Guest House on Saturday.
The theme was “Ask until God unveils something tangible”.
This was the brainchild of Veliswa Ndlovu, Virginia Qwabe and Refilwe Mnisi.
The aim was to bring women of all ages, backgrounds and personalities together to support one another through the journey of womanhood.
It was well attended and boasted local well-known speakers including Member of Parliament, Fridah Nkadimeng, and newly appointed speaker for TCM, Tiny Mabuza.
During the event speakers shared their life experiences.
According to Ndlovu, women need to start working together to conquer life’s challenges.
“When the idea crossed my mind, I shared it with my two friends and it became a common vision.”
Each speaker had a story to tell. According to Jane Sekhukhune, women need to stand up for themselves and work together so that they can raise a nation.
“As women, we need to realise that those days of being told our place is in the kitchen are long gone. Our place is anywhere we want it to be. During her presentation, Mabuza urged women to start praying for one another.
Let’s stop celebrating when others are going through challenges and lend a helping hand instead,” she said. The trio plans to hold more events in the future.
