On 9 August we remember the remarkable women of South Africa by celebrating National Women’s Day. While we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to historic heroines, we’re excited to find out which women are building South Africa’s future, today. Here are a few amazing women who are doing big things. We hope their stories will inspire you the same way they’ve inspired us!
Every August, South Africa commemorates National Women’s Month as a way to recognise the remarkable women of our nation. While we reflect on the bravery of the 20 000+ women who marched against the pass laws in 1956, we’d also like to acknowledge the awe-inspiring women around us today. Below are five such ladies who have changed the game and left their mark on our nation. Fill your feeds with thought-provoking updates by following them on social media this Women’s Month and beyond!
