Patricia Mboweni: “Women run the world. We birth nations, groom boys and girls who become phenomenal adults. Without women the world would be extinct, we are to be celebrated daily.”
John Tau: “We cannot even consider not celebrating women. They play an important role in society and looking back at the history of August 9, we really cannot cancel the commemorations.”
Christiaan Nagel: “Women need the recognition for the hard work they have done and currently do. They have as much of an impact in society as men. We need to appreciate that.”
Sphamandla Khumalo: “If we choose not to celebrate then we are denying women the rights they have fought hard for. We need to celebrate and protect women at all times.”
Claude Burn: “Women’s Month is still an important month to celebrate not only because of the public holiday but because women fought for their rights and need to be acknowledged by society.”
Delwin Seeger: “As a woman who was previously abused, being celebrated and having a month dedicated to me is special. We get to spread awareness on issues important to us.”
