Happy Women’s Day

08/08/2025

The outreach serves as a platform to deepen public understanding of South Africa's G20 Presidency by linking global policy discussions to local realities and explore how financial inclusion can unlock economic opportunities for youth, women, and small businesses, while promoting active citizen participation in shaping multilateral priorities.

The G20 Townhall Outreach programme, Held under the theme "Financial inclusion for economic development: creating access to benefit grassroots economies", with the aim to challenge the exclusion of youth, women, persons with disability, the marginalised from historic locations such as townships and rural areas.

On her welcoming remarks the City Mayor Cllr SE Makushe- Mazibuko confirms the City unwavering support to this programme.

She further urged all the citizens of Mbombela to continue to be good ambassadors of this province whenever they step out to visit either for business or leisure, just as indicated by the Minister recently when engaging with stakeholders amid the looming US's 30% tariff debacle which comes into effect today.

She further emphasised on the need to begin to diversify our market outflows for the sustainability of our businesses.

In her closing remarks I quote “ Programme Director, I would be doing great injustice to all the women of our city and province if, as a woman leader, I do not reflect on the month wherein we are supposed to honour and appreciate the pioneering spirit of those women of 1956 who defied all odds and faced the apartheid regime head-on, thereby sowing a seed of the freedom we enjoy today. It is however disheartening to learn about men who in society who still see women as less human. Our observation is that the onslaught on women seems to intensify during Women's Month. We will however not be deterred in saluting the women of our country especially those who continue to inspire hope, tackle socio-economic issues and lead from the front, despite all these challenges.”
