On 9 August 2023, the Garden Route Badgers celebrated National Women’s Day by inviting the ladies within their structure to a Women’s Day event
The fist speaker, Ms Eshida May from Bridgton Clinic in Oudtshoorn addressed the guests about the importance of looking after our bodies as women and the need to do all the different tests which includes the mammogram. She also touched on the different types of cancer that women and men deal with on a daily basis and the methods on how to check your body.
The second speaker, Ms Katrisha Strydom, a director at SWD Cricket illuded to the important role we as women play in our community, from playing in the women’s club final to playing in the SA T20’s. She left a message that if you put your mind to a goal, anything is possible.
The last speaker, Adv Michelle Weyers, also a Board Member at SWD Cricket focussed on the fact that women always sell themselves short. In most cases the women can do anything that a man can and maybe better. “Don’t hesitate to do something, if you make a mistake and lead by example, so the day that we have moved on, that our younger generation has proud footsteps to follow in”, she concluded.
