Title: Progress Is Not A Given For Women.
Journalist: Kwenadi Ngoepe
Producer: Tshepo Tsambo

Seventy years after 20,000 women marched to the Union Buildings demanding freedom, justice, and security, this documentary asks: have the promises of 1956 been fulfilled? Through the voices of three women -broadcast journalist Cathy Mohlahlana, corporate leader Moroke Ngoepe, and student activist Ayanda Ngoloyi. We explore what it means to be a woman in South Africa today. From the newsroom to the boardroom to campus, these women are navigating systems not designed for them, breaking barriers, and redefining leadership.
