6 August 2025- The Northern Cape Premier, Dr Zamani Saul will lead the Provincial Women’s Day Commemorative event, which is set to take place on 9 August 2025 at the Bongani High School in Douglas. The commemoration will take place under the theme: “Building Resilient Economies for All”.
Saul spokesperson, Naledi Gaosekwe said this year’s commemoration marks two major milestones. Gaosekwe said it marks the 69th anniversary of the 1956 Women’s March to the Union Buildings and the 30th anniversary of South Africa’s official National Women’s Day.
“These milestones reaffirm our collective responsibility to continue the fight for gender equality, socio-economic inclusion and the empowerment of women in all spheres of society. Members of the Executive Council (MECs) as well as the Executive Mayors of the Pixley Ka
Seme District Municipality and Siyancuma Local Municipality will join Saul.
“As we gather in Douglas, we do so not only to celebrate but also to honour the strength, courage and contributions of women – past, present, and future. This event will also shine a spotlight on the vital role played by women in Douglas and the wider Pixley Ka Seme District, particularly in the areas of economic development, leadership and social cohesion,” she said.
Gaosekwe further said the commemoration is important and the province will continue to promote the rights, dignity and empowerment of women across all sectors of society.
