South Africa commemorates Women’s Month in August.
Women’s Day (9 August) recalls the day in 1956 when women from all races and walks of life marched to the Union Buildings in protest against oppressive apartheid laws.
This historic march was a turning point in the role of women in the struggle for freedom and society at large. Since that eventful day, women from all walks of life became equal partners in the struggle for a non-racial and non-sexist South Africa.
The Women's Day commemoration will take place at Buffalo City stadium in East London on 9 August.
Government is organising activities throughout the country:
