Faith without deeds doesn't really exist, just as talent not demonstrated in creative ways doesn't exist. Both must be expressed or they are a myth.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On 9th August 1956, about 20,000 women marched to counter the Pass Laws of apartheid era in South Africa.

It required women defined as "black" under The Population Registration Act to carry an internal passport (pass) that served to segregate.

—South Africa’s National Women's Day is an annual public holiday that commemorates the national march of women on this day in 1956 to petition against legislation that required African persons to carry the "pass", special identification documents which curtailed an African's freedom of movement during the apartheid era.*

August 9, 1956: 20,000-50,000 women staged a march on the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against the proposed amendments to the Urban Areas Act (commonly known as the pass laws) of 1950. They left bundles of petitions containing more than 100, 000 signatures at prime minister J.G. Strijdom's office doors. Outside they stood silently for 30 minutes, many with their children on their backs.

The women sang a protest song that was composed in honour of the occasion:

"Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo! (Now you have touched the women, you have struck a rock.)."

In the 60 years since, the phrase (or its latest incarnation: "you strike a woman, you strike a rock") has come to represent women's courage and strength in South Africa. The march was led by Lilian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosaand Sophie Williams. Other participants included Frances Baard, a statue of whom was unveiled by Northern Cape Premier Hazel Jenkins in Kimberley (Frances Baard District Municipality) on National Women's Day 2009.

Since August 9, 1994, the day has been commemorated annually and is known as "Women's Day" in South Africa.

In 2006, a reenactment of the march was staged for its 50th anniversary, with many of the 1956 march veterans.

SIU findings on Giyani Water Project:

5 boreholes, JUST 5 boreholes, were overpriced by R7million.

An emergency contract of R90million was extended and increased to R2,2billion, the state later paid R4,1billion.

What an absolutely beautiful, kind and classy tribute to Siya Kolisi by Squidge Rugby. This is not only a tribute to Siya but in some ways, a love letter to the Boks and maybe, just maybe, to us as South Africans too.

The story of Wakanda is not that they had Vibranium, it's that they learnt how to process it and extract value from it before the world found out about it.

If the world discovered it before they figured out how to mine it, you wouldn't have Wakanda, you'll have Congo.

@Unkle_Bo @FlySafair Not in a country where the crime rate is this high.

[FKA Tired @Unkle_Bo]

Very disappointed with @FlySafair.
Watching my minor walk out unaccompanied. Then having to wait over 5 mins for the person responsible for accompanying him to arrive.
Only for him to make light of the situation when I confront him about it.
There's no excuse for this negligence.
