Celebrating the Women who Lace Up, Show Up, and Push Forward

Renowned sports broadcaster, businesswoman, and mom Xoli Zondo says that Workers’ Day resonates with her, because she is able to work hard for success since South Africa’s labour standards and policies allow for women like her to be able to pursue their passions. All Photos: Supplied

This #WorkersDay we celebrate two successful women in sport with skin in the game: Sports Broadcaster Xoli Zondo and Sports Psychologist Dr Koketjo Tsebe remind us about those who smoothed the path before us, and about important matters which lie within our ability to change.

Freedom Allows Women in the Sports Industry to Thrive

Freedom Day signifies many things to different people. Former pro surfer Tasha Mentasti, now a World Surfing regional administrator, expresses gratitude: “I am grateful for the massive strides taken by government and national federations to ensure better opportunities for women participating in all forms of sport in South Africa.” All Photos: Supplied

Women in the sports industry are thriving and enjoying freedoms that were once out of reach for most, and as South Africa celebrates over three decades of democracy, women are marking this Freedom Day with gratitude.
