Indlovukazi Women Empowerment
Last week Friday, I was kindly invited by Indlovukazi Society to MC at their opening function. It was such an overwhelming feeling to see men and women gathered in a Women Empowerment Function, engaging on issues that affect women in Tertiary Institutions. The theme was Women and Education. Gracing us with her presence as guest speaker was Professor - Mrs. Songci an H.O.D at the Accounting Department who traced us down memory lane, and reminded us of what being a woman means. And how important it is to be an educated woman in the 21st century. Her last words "Women you are a multi-tasker, that is your role, embrace it and move on" were inspirational. From getting married at the age of 21, acquiring an accounting degree in record time - embarking on her Honours degree whilst pregnant with her first born, and still able to acquire her Honours degree in record time. Then her Masters, then her PHD. Now she is a Professor and she did it all whilst playing her role as a woman - a wife to her husband, a mother to her kids, an inlaw to her extended family and a daughter of the universe.
Anathi Majavu, a postgraduate, young beautiful petite *laughs* young lady who works at the TLC department also shared some tremendous words on how important being educated as a woman in this day and age is. She made reference from her experiences, of how she worked her way to be where she is now. She is a true testament of beauty and brains.
Our third speaker was Miss AgcobileNdukwana. A rather young looking miss, who was just flaming with presence and wisdom. She proved to us how important it is to be a fighter in life (this can be seen through the office she holds as an SRC), and she did this by making reference to her best friends experience in life and how it inspired her to get going.
To close off the function, a discussion floor was opened to all to engage about burning issues, which too was well addressed by all, men and women. A big ups to the executives for managing to host such a memorable event. I am sure this is the beginning of great things for Indlovukazi's. A blessing indeed. Viva Ndlovukazi Viva.
