I can only imagine how it was on 9 August 1956 when the Federation of South African Woman organized a mass demonstration against the imposition of pass laws on women in South Africa. More than 20,000 women, led by Lilian Ngoyi (a trade unionist and political activist), Helen Joseph, Albertina Sisulu, and Sophia Williams-De Bruyn, took part in the multi-racial march to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, to deliver a petition to the Prime minister JG Strijdom.
I AM WOMAN......As women we are where are today because of these phenomenal, brave and inspiring women, it does not matter what race you are,how old you are,whether you are a mother,grandmother,daughter,sister,aunt or whether you're a nun,nurse,domestic worker or work in the corporate world, You are a woman and you worth more than you know. However, that time of the year has come where the nation honours and celebrates these roles in the emancipation of South Africa, yes mother's day was celebrated 2 months ago but it's not enough when it comes to honouring our beautiful and phenomenon women.
