Mama Lillian Ngoyi, mama Charlotte Maxeke, mama Albertina Sisulu, and many unsung that fought and fell fighting for us to be free, for us to be treated as rightful citizens in our country and continent not refugees, and many. You showed courage, never allowed yourselves to be used or referred to as an object, instead within the struggle you define your role and played it no body defined it for you but you. You loved your husbands despite the circumstances and materiallity on the ground at the time, where they would just go for sometime leaving you with kids and no money sent home, but you knew the main objective and never been selfish. In actual fact many of you were also taken away but never gave-up. You loved your sons, some of them the decisions they made or took were not pleasant to you but you guided, coached and never gave-up on them. You protected them when the then police and soldiers for government were searching for them, you never sold them to that system. You loved and groomed your daughters, not to hate themselves, not to hate their fathers, not to think cheap of themselves. You taught them not to allow any man to use them like an object. We call on you fallen and still living to look over us particularly the women, guide and protect them from endangering themselves, from allowing themselves to be used by men young or old in an exchange of material gain, allowing themselves to be used in order to be in higher positions political/business, women from other women where one would attempt and actually aim and succeed in bringing the other down; your sons guide and protect them from their fathers to not destroy them, to not use them for their political gains/battles, from themselves to hate women so much that they rape and kill them young and old; and your husbands to realize that they are not on their own, protect them from endangering themselves, show them that children need love of a father not of man both man and women, women must not be used, young men and women must not be used or destroyed but groomed be it business or political. Unity, Ubuntu, Respect, Honesty, Consistency, Pride and Dignity, are key bring them back we need them now...!!!
