Johannesburg – South African women must understand they stand on the shoulders of the women of 1956 who marched to the Union Buildings, said Minister of Small Business Development Lindiwe Zulu.
Zulu delivered the keynote address at the African Women Chartered Accountants (AWCA) conference in Sandton on Tuesday, which focused on women in business, ethical leadership and corporate governance.
“As black women we must realise we wouldn’t have been sitting here. We would have had to come and clean this place,” said Zulu. As the women of 1956 cleared the way to prepare the ground for the younger generation, women of this generation should do the same for those to come, she explained. “Our struggle is not about to end today.”
