Public Works North Coast Regional Office wrapped up Women's Month on a high note with glitz and glamour. The region decided to honour our own female employees for their positive contributions in the workplace.
Staff and guests assembled at the old Legislative Assembly Chamber as the programme commenced. In her opening remarks, Ms Ntombizodwa Majozi who was the Programme Director said: "This day is our day and we must rejoice and be glad in it." Majozi was vocal in reminding the guests that Women's Month is celebrated in August as a tribute to the thousands of women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women. Our country is fortunate that the government is making significant progress in empowering women in all spheres.
