1956 to today. Difficult to celebrate in a world where women still consistently have to fight for what is their right. Wathint' abafazi, wathint' imbokodo. Here's to a world where extreme levels of strength are not needed for survival. And to all the women who inspire.
I have to believe most South Africans are disgusted, enraged and heartbroken by the racist actions at Huis Marais. Where is the swift and practical leadership we need to ensure justice? @JJ_Stellies@ThuliMadonsela3@StellenboschUni How do we bring irrevocable change, faster?!
Today we celebrate the graduation of this group of @PYDAcademy Tourism & Entrepreneurship students in open air @Delvera campus. Unbelievable achievement in this weird year of trauma, loss, innovation, pain and deep human connection. Can't wait! #launchingtalent#familyforever
It’s a full house this am with all the students in the building! Today we celebrate Maryanne’s (our Finance Manager) 60th Birthday with song, dance & poetry! Hip, hip, hooray!!! 🥳🎊
@PYDAcademy would have loved to join for tea! The Arch and Thandi are two of our favourite Patrons. Supportive cheerleaders since the start! Of course would also love to host the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Stellenbosch. #launchingtalent#changingtheworld#loveinaction
Among gifts presented by the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was a set of framed photographs of Princess Diana's meeting with Nelson Mandela in 1997.
