South Africans are today commemorating the struggle of women for a free, non-racial and non-sexist country.
Women’s Day was declared as the public holiday, to pay tribute to the women who marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria in 1956 in protest against apartheid pass laws.
The main event is taking place at the BhekuZulu sports ground in Vryheid in KwaZulu Natal.
The theme for this year’s Women’s Day is Together Empowering Women for Development and Gender Equality.
In Cape Town the city’s female Metro police officers visited the Douglas Murray Old Age Home in Retreat this morning, to spoil the women.
