The Gauteng Provincial Government, in partnership with the City of Tshwane will tomorrow be commemorating and celebrating Women's Day. The day's activities will start with the health walk where about 20 000 women will gather at Church Square before making their way to the Union Buildings through Church Street. The theme for the 2008 Women's Day celebrations is 'Business Unusual: All Power to Women!'
Gauteng Premier, Mbhazima Shilowa accompanied by Education MEC, Angie Motshekga and Finance and Economic Development MEC, Paul Mashatile will on Tuesday, 29 July 2008 hold an Imbizo with the Ekangala Community in Metsweding in order to monitor service delivery and interact with the community. The Premier visited the area previously and committed to revisiting the area to ensure that service delivery is indeed taking place.
It gives me great pleasure to be with you here tonight, to celebrate with you, the launch of the Department of Trade and Industry Women's Forum. The Free State, for example, has a woman Premier and there are several women MECs in other provinces. The celebration of National Women's Day is a dedication to the sweat, energies and great ideas contributed by women.
