A day of reflection and celebrating the emancipation of women marked a Women’s Day event at the KwaDukuza town hall. Appropriately themed “Nganele – I Am Enough,” it featured a dynamic mix of panel discussions, comedy and music to highlight the diverse realities of women in our society.
The theme “Nganele” can be interpreted in two ways – a declaration of women acknowledging their strengths, or a statement from women who are tired of the injustices they face in society.
The panel discussion included influential figures such as businesswoman Norma Mngoma, Dr Lelo Nkosi-Ntombela, author and actress Ayanda Borotho, pastor Lungi M and BMW Ballito representative Ayanda Mntambo, each sharing their unique perspectives.
The panel tackled significant themes such as healing, the art of letting go and gender inequality.
KwaDukuza mayor Lindile Nhaca also addressed the audience, acknowledging there was still a long way for women to go to achieve total freedom.
“Freedom cannot be achieved until women are emancipated from all forms of oppression,” she said.
The event also raised awareness on critical issues such as domestic violence, the gender pay gap, and breaking the glass ceiling for women in the workplace.
