On 9 August 1956, more than 20 000 South African women of all races staged a march on the Union Buildings in protest against the proposed amendments to the Urban Areas Act of 1950, commonly referred to as the "pass laws". it is in this sense that as the ANCYL Mowbray branch-CPUT we would want to state emphatically that we celebrate the struggle of women not only for a day but for the whole month of August and beyond that.

We continue to celebrate the contributions made by women in characterizing the footprint towards achieving democracy.To mention few (Mama Charlotte Maxeke, Ida Mntwana,Cecilia Makhiwane, Gill Marcus, Winnie Madikizela Mandela and many other thousands.

We further on this month celebrate the women for they have made greater progress in transformation of South African society,particular women in rural areas who are still trapped in gender suppression. Therefore gender equality in South Africa should not be limited to competition of elite women on access to high level positions but it should entail that all women have access to better services and most importantly opportunities.

The ANCYL mowbray branch-CPUT stand by the clarion call that all women should have access to sanitary towels and other reproductive and sexual health necessities for free if they cannot afford to pay. It can never be correct that women are subjected to unhealthy and unhygienic practices when responding to natural realities thus the campaign for free sanitary towels shall be heighten.

We then want to reaffirm that we will never rest until women enjoy equal access to opportunities and better services. Amandla!!!

Comrades, we have said before and we will say again today that all revolutions are activities of the youth. South Africa under the leadership of the ANC is in the middle of a revolution, and if not in a revolution, it is supposed to be in a revolution. If there is anyone in the ANC who denies or refuses to accept that we are in a National Democratic Revolution, then that person is misplaced. In the course of any revolution, we need to appreciate that the youth should and will always play a central role.

We hope that in times like these you will show resilience like you did against the defunct apartheid regime. Please continue to show courage against the illness that want to conquer your spirit. We, as the ANCYL, have hope that you will fight till the full recovery. What will the nation be without you in these trying times when there are some in our movement and some outside our movement who are hell-bent in destroying the movement that you dearly fought for with many comrades. The movement that you shouldered under difficult times. Your wisdom and guidance in these times is more than required. Your experience cannot be kept away from us in these times. We love you Mother of the Nation.
