The piece explores the struggles faced by women in Southern Africa from the apartheid era until the present day. It is a reminder of incidents such as the Women’s March of 1956, the bus boycott and the recent mass #FeesMustFall campaign, and after 22 years after the first democratic elections in South Africa, the struggle continues and women are still marching.
