Chapter 3 : She Can Do Anything

Summary: This Women’s Month, in tribute of the women's march (where 20,000 women of different races marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against legislation aimed at controlling the movement of black individuals by forcing them to carry pass books)- we want to recognize how SHE CAN DO ANYTHING. We want to spend the next month looking back on women’s achievements, their milestones as well as reflecting on the challenges they have faced in the struggle to be free and the important role they continue to play in society. Let us contribute our two lines towards weaving a poem that reminds us that- “She believed she could, so she did”- R S Grey.

The Poem: She Can Do Anything



She is a badass with a good heart, soft but strong;unapologetic and honest.

She is the type of person you go to war besides, the type of woman you marry.

( RH Sin )


She thrives in her passion, unashamed to rise and meet her dreams

Her dreams propell her through adversity, a daily struggle, she rises like the sun

( Debbie )


A woman is the full circle

Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform

( Theo Badimo )


Beautiful, empathetic, independent, loving, selfless, strong and wisdomful

These are a few characteristics of our everyday Super Women

( Reona Nair )


When you accept yourself, you accept the world.

Your experience of life is a reflection of you.

( Sue Schreuder )


We are who we are because of the Women who laid their lives on the line for us to exist and thrive today.

Our time is now, so take your rightful place on the throne.

( Nwabisa Mda )


See this woman; she is gentle and accommodating, not breakable but well nigh invincible.

Don't you know the truth: only strong can afford to be gentle?

( Jennifer Smith )


She is everything - a mother, sister, love and a friend.

She will always be there for you to tend and care.

( Darren )


She will always be there for you to lift you up and put you straight and help clear your head.

Without her there is little to nothing, so respect and take care of her as is everything.

( Darren )


I am a spirit, a beacon, a flame of love and strength.

There is nothing that kill my eternal flame.

( Tshifi )
