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.

It is a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals to realize and maximize their potential. Incidents and events that happened in our lives have scarred many of us. It has injured us to a point where we have lost ourselves, our dreams, visions and aspirations.

Years back, I was conceived, By a specie I now long to reach, Our bond amputated from your umbilical cord, You became a parent far from me to reach. Today is mother’s day, Not the day I was conceived, But a celebration of your enablement to conceive me, Woman you were crowned. For juggling the hassles of life, At the palm of your hand, And still raising a prize possession, A priceless pearl you groomed to be the lady she is today. Born far from you, God willed it to be so, For You birthed a lioness, A fox, One that like you was able to stand the test of time, Through you, life equipped me to stand on my own! To be a fighter, Stern physic, You built me not to break, Our distance made me your incarnation; A strong willed woman Our conversations are transmitted through prayer, Where I feel and see you more, In my prayers, And dream that one day the Lord will land me on your doorstep. So that we can revive our relationship. ...
