CDM INTERNAL WOMEN CELEBRATED

The Acting Executive Mayor Cllr Hilda Makhura thanked women for the sterling job they do for CDM. “Even amidst difficult circumstances, you continue to go an extra mile ensuring the institution deliver services to the community of Capricorn District Municipality without failure,” said Acting Executive Mayor.
She emphasized on the importance of having each other’s back and appealed to women to speak up against Gender Based Violence happening in families. “Thank you for showing up, this is indeed a wellness day we deserve,” said Acting Executive Mayor.

“In fitness sessions or in sports we learn a lot of humility, tolerance and respect. We know most of you are not full-time sportswomen but we are happy that you do realise the importance of coming together to contend with each other. And this is not only about competitiveness – it is also about having fun – about the enjoyment we get from exercises and information-sharing sessions. But I must highlight that the empowerment of women is not only a fitness or moral imperative, it’s an economic no-brainer. Allow me to pose a question for all women here. Are you willing to commit to actions to help other women? What will your commitment be? I want you to think about this. We all play a role in creating a world where every girl and every woman can fulfil her potential without barriers and prejudice. It’s not just about gender equality, it’s smart economics,” concluded Acting Executive Mayor.

The CDM internal Women’s Day was held on 27 August 2024 at Polokwane Netball Courts in Polokwane.
