The society was formed in 1984 with only six members from KwaThema.
After almost 30 years of existence, the society has grown to 40 members from Daveyton and Kwatsaduza.
The members of the society are females between the ages of 30 and 60.
Speaking on behalf of the society, chairman Nobelungu Lebeko said their society is not only focusing on helping in the burial of one of their members’ family member but they also help within their communities.
She said they donate food parcels and clothes to different orphanages and to child-headed families.
“We believe in helping those who need our help the most,” said Lebeko.
Lebeko also revealed that in October the society will host a mother and daughter seminar where young girls will be taught about behaviour within the community.
She said during the seminar challenges, such as teenage pregnancy faced by young girls in the townships, will also be discussed.
“We will mainly be targeting the orphans because we want to ensure that they also have someone to talk to when faced with challenges in their teenage stage of their lives,” she said.
On Sunday the happy ladies gathered in KwaThema for a candlelight memorial services to remember their members who have died.
“We wanted to celebrate this women’s month by paying respect and remembering all the women who started the society and those who used to be part of our society but have already died,” concluded a sad Lebeko.
