💜 International Women’s Day is about recognizing the power of leadership, resilience, and impact.

South Africa has a long legacy of women who have driven change—whether through politics, activism, art, or philanthropy:

🔹 Charlotte Maxeke – Pioneering educator & activist
🔹 Ruth First – Journalist & anti-apartheid truth-teller
🔹 Sophia Williams-De Bruyn – Leader of the historic 1956 Women’s March
🔹 Frene Ginwala – First Speaker of South Africa’s democratic Parliament
🔹 Zanele Muholi – Visual activist redefining LGBTQ+ representation globally
🔹 Rachel Kolisi – Driving humanitarian change through the Kolisi Foundation

Their work reminds us that leadership is not about titles—it’s about impact, courage, and paving the way for others. Who are the women that inspire you? Let’s celebrate their legacy.
