Women are the most enduring beings ever.
Women can literally put up with anything.
Iyakwazi lanto ufukamela amaqanda abolileyo ngelokufihla ihlazo lomzi walo.
I am always thrown back when people judge women who stay in abusive relationships.
I believe most of them are waiting for that I have had enough moment. And when that moment finally present itself, you better pray you not close by to feel their wrath.
Sadly to some it never comes and they die in the hands of their loved ones.
I can't find it in my heart to forgive that Silvertown woman who allowed old men to do as they lusted in her underage daughter in exchange for a beer.
And the women that do nothing after they have heard how their spouses secretly molested their babies.
Its our duty as women to shield what we love and doubtlessly sacrifice our own happiness to see it blossom into something wonderful.
Having mentioned all this I still pride myself in being a woman in Africa. Though we are not there yet in terms of eradicating women abuse, human tracking, poverty but I know with the strength that God has bestowed in us we can do it.
Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka our first female deputy president is a perfect example of how high we can spread our wings. She was recently appointed as new UN Women Executive Director.
