South Africa commemorates Women’s Month in August as a tribute to the thousands of women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women.

This historic march was a turning point in the role of women in the struggle for freedom and society at large. Since that eventful day, women from all walks of life became equal partners in the struggle for a non-racial and non-sexist South Africa.

Women’s Day is a special occasion for Shades of Green; we not only recognise the remarkable ladies who made history in 1956 but also bow down to all women of the 21st century. The struggles of yesterday seem incomprehensible but being a millennial woman is no walk in the park either. We are honoured to work alongside such fantastic women; those employed those that consultant, those who pay the bills and of course the Moms who raise all these empowered women.

Being a “women” owned & run company means that Shades of Green gets to brag a little extra. We congratulate Kylie for being selected as one of the Top 40 Women in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) in South Africa by Meetings Magazine. Kylie is the epitome of the quote “dreams don’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work”.

Happy Women’s Day! We wish you a day as beautiful as you are…
