According to the department, Hoboloshe’s moment comes perfectly when the country is celebrating Women’s Month. The MEC has in the past argued Women to fight unendingly for their affirmation in the society. “I still believe that women need to be unapologetic for their existence and they need to fight consistently for their rightful space in all positions that are available in this country, including sport and all other known male dominated sectors,” said Gade.
