🇿🇦 HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY | 9 AUGUST
Today, we honour the strength, courage and resilience of South African women.
On 9 August 1956, more than 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, standing united against the unjust pass laws of apartheid. Their courage demonstrated the power of collective action and became an enduring symbol of resistance, dignity and equality.
As we celebrate Women’s Day, we remember the women who came before us, recognise the women who continue to shape our communities today, and support the generations of women who will lead our tomorrow.
Her story is our history. Her progress is our progress. Her future is our future.
M.T Makwela Inc Attorneys salutes the women of 1956 and all South African women who continue to lead, inspire, build and transform our nation.
Happy Women’s Day! 🇿🇦
