With a vibrant vision to celebrate and
empower women, Womandla! combines the launch of the highly anticipated women's

This unique event showcases the writing
achievements of selected poets and writers, features five brilliant women
speakers (Shabnam Palesa Mohamed, Puleng Nomvula Ndlovukazi, Maya Jagjivan
Kalicharan, Chantal Snyman, Sheena St Clair Jonker) and honours iconic women in
law, the arts, human rights, and academics. These exemplary women achievers
include: Judge Navi Pillay, Dr Gcina Mhlophe, Dr Betty Govinden, Dr Ela Gandhi,
Yaa Ashentewaa Ngidi-Archer, Shehnilla Mohamed, Nise Malange, Cookie Edwards,
Caroline Smart (artSMart Editor) and Dr Mariam Seedat .
