Being South African women has its own ups and downs. More than 20 000 women marched to the union buildings to deliver a petition to the Prime minister of that JG Strijom about the impositions (find another word) of pass laws in South Africa. read more
Well this march took place more than 50 years ago, and has anything changed yet? Today’s generation fail to learn and understand the significant struggle and shame that women in South Africa had to go through to insure that women had equal rights and opportunities as men.
But instead they strive to get the latest trends, designer labels, becoming socialites and sex symbols. Forgetting where their mothers, grandmothers and ancestors come from and fought for.
Annual campaigns and awareness’s spread throughout the country such as breast cancer, women and children abuse, women’s day, mother’s day and so forth, should remind the society of the important role that women play in the lives of others.
Young girls forget about being a miss party, a taxi queen or even a gold digger. There is something special that you carry with you that no other men may undermine, but it’s the fact that you are the mother of the nation; you determine how the future would be look like.
So ask yourselves, is this where I am supposed to be?
Happy women’s year to all the beautiful women of South Africa.
it is not about how you look, but about what's inside your heart. i think most young women do appreciate the freedom it is just that they have different ways of approaching it.
