Guest Speaker Tshianeo Phathela, a SABCjJournalist, spoke about the importance of Woman’s Day in general, saying that women should indeed take care of themselves and that they should also be cautious in whatever they do. “A woman performs all the duties of a man but a man cannot do all that a woman can do. A woman is born with the power to save and love, her existence is based on the truthfulness in her eyes. Let’s all appreciate ourselves as women and love ourselves,” Phathela said.
