National Women’s Day on the 9 August is a public holiday in South Africa, commemorating the national march of women in 1956 to petition against pass law legislation. This holiday has become a celebration of women in South Africa and many events are held to honour women and girl children.
The Cape Point Route is no exception and 'Safer Together' and seven organisations in the Greater Muizenberg area are collaborating to offer a Women’s Day event on 8 August with safety and security as a main theme. The function will take place at False Bay College on the corner of Main and Atalantic Roads.
The programme will include practical demonstrations of ways to promote one’s own safety, a practical session on self-esteem and assertiveness to enable women to know and affirm their and their children’s rights. There will also be live music and singing by well-known singer Natalia da Rocha and her “Applauz” group – which also promotes the development of young musicians. Poetry and presentations by students of False Bay College, as well as a display of posters made by the students
The event will be followed by SAFER TOGETHER’s monthly Muizenberg Moonlight Meander from 18h30 to 20h00 on Saturday evening 8 August. The walk starts at 18h30 in front of Knead, and if the weather is bad, the regulars get together inside the restaurant. A donation for R5 by walkers, exchanged for a candle, also goes to the Safer Together funds.
The Cape Point Route recommends a visit to the Hout Bay Craft Market this Sunday on Hout Bay common between 7am and 5pm to find that perfect gift for the special women in your life. There are plenty of crafty stalls, yummy foods, jumping castle for the kids and more.
So celebrate the women in your life in the build up to 9 August and National Women’s Day.
