Dear beautiful,brave,intelligent,caring,stylish and loving woman of 1959.
You do not not me but i know you.I know who you are and what you stood for.Your bravery and kindness lives in a number of us and the reason why i say a number of us is because some know you but choose to ignore you.I owe you my life and me being here could not be a bigger blessing combined with you.Knowing you makes me want to take over the world because you showed me its possible.You changed my future for the better.You gave me the key to open my out to my journey.
When i listen to your peers who are still with us on this earth i can not help but cry tears of sadness.The amount of bravery you went through and pain so that a woman like me can have a voice and a place in the world.You are truly an extraordinary woman.
You never left your duties unattended.Your husband had supper and clean clothes,your children were looked after,you dressed in fine clothes,you carried that baby on your back and went to claim what was rightfully ours as woman.
We bare the fruits of your bravery,your pain and you kindness in our success.As much as many of my sistas have let us down but i can assure you there is a number of woman who have not let you down.From the domestic worker to the CEO woman.I wish more woman understood what you stood for and cherish it by being Great woman like you were.You never had to wear a short skirts to be noticed.You were never at a shebeen looking for attention but instead you were out there fighting for all.
Your saw our pain and just like mothers you went to intervene.
I wish all woman can be Great woman from the woman in the Rural area to the woman in the city.I wish they can understand being a woman is not just about the body,the beauty but how you pave your journey in this world.How you treat others and what you stand for.Stand for reality and be true to yourself.I wish many woman can be like you woman of 1959.If i can be half the woman you were i would know that i have made you proud.
I write this piece to Mam'Albertina Sisulu,Mam'Winnie Madikizela Mandela,Mrs Helen Suzman,The Late Mam' Bertha Gxowa and many more beautiful souls.
How many woman celebrate woman of the past?Do you know what they stood for?Do you know how did they live?
Just a day after woman's day i wonder if woman of the past are proud of what we woman of 2011 have become.
You have paved the road for us its time for us woman of 2011 to do the walk.

Dear Mistress aka Nyatsi.
Dear Mistress aka Nyatsi.
Am writing this letter woman to woman.I am not here to judge you but to tell you the truth and hope this will save you from being like a used toothbrush.
I have been told woman like you lack in Self love and confidence.Am told woman like you like to be challenged that you are better than the wife or the main woman.You are attracted to married men or man who have stable relationships?
I have been told that you do not mind sharing and at least you know where he is when he is not with you and that's OK in your books.
For how long will you be someones side dish to offload his fantasies?Does it not bother you that he choose to pay lobola for his wife and yet he uses you?Does it not bother you that he is using you and will never meet your family and do things right?Does it not bother you that you going to hang on to him but when he dies you will get nothing and you will not even attend his funeral?Does it not bother you that you have been dating for years but never spent a night at your place?Does it not bother you that its been years and has not left his wife?
For how long will you put up this Drama in your life?Don't you think you are worthy of a man of your own?Do you really think that God will bless you with your own man while you are busy with another woman's blessing?Remember this man and his wife declared their love in front of God and God blessed them,so you between them means you have no respect for God.
Do you really think if he cheated with you he will not cheat on you?Do you really think you have a chance of a relationship while the foundation is based on cheating?
At times i feel sorry for you because life has a funny way of working out and people like you always end up alone and sad at the end.
I hope you read my letter and do some introspection and decide is this what you really want in your life to be second best who will get nothing.Even a dog gets a bone once in a while.
