GPL opens nominations for eighth Vita Basadi Awards
The closing date for all nominations is July 25.
As we approach Women’s Month, the Gauteng Legislature invites all residents of the province to nominate female volunteers who contribute to the welfare of their communities for a Vita Basadi award.
Loosely translated into ‘women of virtue’ from Swahili and Sesotho, the awards form part of the Legislature’s comprehensive programme for Women’s Month in August to shine the spotlight on the powerful force that women are.
The programme also celebrates gains made to date in pushing back barriers to women’s emancipation and inclusion, as well as defending their rights.

Speaker Ntombi Mekgwe now extends an invitation for the nomination of deserving Gauteng women of all ages, races, cultures, and creeds who volunteer their time and resources to help others without reward.
Submit their name(s) with a short motivation detailing the kind of help or support they give their community, which makes them a deserving winner.
Categories include Youth Philanthropist, Community Heroine, Woman of the Honour, Community Builder of the Year, Young Dignitary, Outstanding Creative, Unsung Legend and The Guardian Award.
The closing date for all nominations is July 25.
Once all nominations are in, shortlisted potentials will be required to compile a two-minute video, describing the nature of their service to communities.
