PLATINUM WEEKLY,
11 Marais Street,
August belongs to the Ladies
Earlier this month Minister of Women in the presidency, Susan Shabangu, lit a torch at the Union Buildings in Pretoria to launch women’s month, saying it signifies the role women played in a democratic
South Africa.
On Saturday, 9 August, the 1956 march of thousands of women to
the Union Buildings was commemorated across the country through
many activities celebrating the work, leadership, burdens and
achievements of women today, who are the pillars of modern society.
But it was not all serious, and the Platinum Weekly trusts that all our
lady readers were treated with the respect and love they so richly
deserve on women’s day, and that the special treatment will continue
not only through this month, but for the rest of the year and beyond.
A particularly lovely message has been doing the rounds on social
media and cell phones and we would like to share it with our readers.
This is for every woman to make her smile and for every man to make
him realise the worth of the woman in his life;
When she is quiet, millions of things are running through her mind.
When she is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.
When she stares at you, she is wondering why she loves you so
much in spite of being taken for granted.
When she calls you every day, she wants to know how you are doing.
When she SMSs you every day, she wants you to reply at once.
When she says “I love you”, she means it.
When she says “I miss you”, no one in the world can miss you more.
When she says” I will stand by you”, she will stand by you like a rock.
She is said to be the first wonder to man, a priceless treasure, always
special.
Never hurt her or take her wrong or for granted.

Sheer class at Women’s Day Soiree
Rustenburg/ Phokeng – While August is dedicated to
celebrating the phenomenal women who are passionate
and true to their her own beings, a score of remarkable
women in Rustenburg were treated to an array of motivational speeches, pampering, gifts and a glamorous fashion show.
The glitzy soiree was held at the Royal Marang Hotel in
Phokeng on the Saturday, 9 August, and was aimed at celebrating, empowering and honouring the outstanding ladies in society while encouraging women to claim and own
their rightful place in their professions and communities.
As women are faced with juggling careers and family responsibilities, the speakers at the celebration encouraged
them to also take proper care of themselves and gave
valuable advice on claiming their place in male dominated
work environments, beauty tips, romance and nurturing
relationships.
Speaking at the soiree, local psychologist Dr. Amanda Agathagelou said for any relationship to survive, sweeping
conflicts or issues under the carpet should be avoided.
“The best gift you can ever give your children, is to show
them that you love their daddy,” she said.

Enterprise Business Unit for Public Sector at Vodacom,
Dinah Kheswa, Oratile Disang from Camelot, Dr Lucia
M.K Tshose, a dentist, Michelle de Lange Dunn , an entrepreneur, Basani Maluleke, founder of C4-Suite and Maria
