Chapter 3 : She Can Do Anything

Summary: This Women’s Month, in tribute of the women's march (where 20,000 women of different races marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria to protest against legislation aimed at controlling the movement of black individuals by forcing them to carry pass books)- we want to recognize how SHE CAN DO ANYTHING. We want to spend the next month looking back on women’s achievements, their milestones as well as reflecting on the challenges they have faced in the struggle to be free and the important role they continue to play in society. Let us contribute our two lines towards weaving a poem that reminds us that- “She believed she could, so she did”- R S Grey.

The Poem: She Can Do Anything



She has the power to teach our children not only how to love, but how to be loved.

Let her inner strength shine-the leader of the future and the now.

( Robert Rumney )


To be herself is to be divine. Even should it mean standing out or standing against.

Let her wind flow like the Limpopo, as far as the wind will allow.

( Robert Rumney )


A woman’s place is in the revolution.

so, fight like a girl.

( Nadia P )
