About this campaign

Closed Sep 9, 2017

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.

She Can Do Anything

  1. Wathint Abafazi, Wathint Imbokodo

    But I have always been a woman. The most beautiful thing on earth

    When the road gets tough, we get down the high heels!

    Kido Chaboneka

    I am this woman because of Him whom who destined me to be a special chosen vessel to humanity for His honour and glory.

    Who needs to be loved,not treated with aggression

    A maiden strong, a lady loving and a crone wise, the divine goddess of birth, death and life

  9. I am the moon in somebody's night.
    They call me a mother,wife,sister and a daughter; I am the ease in somebody's plight.

  10. You can't stop her, oppress or threaten her; You can't cage her or bring her down;
    She is going to come out, stronger than before, and more renown.
