THE staff of Bluff Clinic were left motivated and inspired after the special women empowerment programme held on Friday, August 20.
Headed by the clinic’s manager, Sr Fikile Tsekiso, the event was aimed at highlighting a broad spectrum of societal issues which affect women most. These included gender-based violence (GBV), identity, socio-economic concerns, poverty, parenting, health and complex relationship dynamics with the opposite sex.
Guest speakers of the day were motivational speaker Bongi Mchunu, captain Louise le Roux of Brighton Beach SAPS and eThekwini area manager for primary health care, Zandile Shange.
“During Women’s month, it is imperative that we recognise the women of worth who impact positively within society. Brighton Beach Women’s Network acknowledged Sr Tsekiso as a woman of worth within the Brighton Beach policing prescient. The career-driven woman has been the nursing service manager at the Bluff Clinic since 2016. Here she manages a staffing compliment of 26 women and 12 men. Since her deployment to the clinic, she had identified individuals, whom she had mentored, inspired and developed to managerial positions. She has also been instrumental in improving services delivery by the clinic to the public since her appointment,” said le Roux.
Through a collaboration with the Robin Hood Foundation, Vicky Cowan, Le Roux and members of the community the clinic’s staff were acknowledged for their valuable contributions and gifted with a special goody bag on the day.
