Happy Women’s Month Message

The cold is still there but it is during this month that the winter becomes weak. Vegetation starts to acquire the green colour. The hills and mountains get some green blanket. This is how nature functions and we must try by all means to learn from her. The world goes through seasons and moves smoothly from one season to the next one. 

When news came about the Covid-19 pandemic it seemed as if that was the end, people lost hope. We have now adjusted to living with it and we strongly believe that this too shall pass.  Just like the winter season makes way for the spring season, this Covid-19 is gradually making a way for a new season.  

In South Africa this month is fully dedicated to women. We hope and believe that most of us are aware of the background. Shortly, the women of 1956 organised themselves to the common purpose of goal. We would therefore urge women of today to revive their goals and purposes in life.

‘When you educate a man you educate an individual, when you educate a woman you educate a generation’ African Proverb. By nature design women are nurtures and it is in the process of nurturing that the latter part of this proverb is seen in action. If women can take their rightful position a lot of things will be in order in the society. This journey begins at finding your identity as woman, which leads to discovering your purpose and these two aspects make it possible for one to live life in her terms… 

Women must carry themselves as women. We know that this statement may start some debates but for once this is not our intention. That would be a subject for another day.

For now we encourage women to ensure that their goals are achieved. This can be done individually or collectively, but as long as there is a good intention to it. The world is in desperate need for women of purpose, the ones one would not mind multiplying as he knows that they can certainly make the world a better place. Determined, motivated, focused, disciplined… these are terms that define the women that we have just referred to.

Ladies we want to wish you all the best in your month. Let it bring all the mercies in your life. Remember to work hard day and night. Do take some rest where necessary.
