Is it necessary? I saw some women toyi, toying as they celebrated their women day yesterday, and thought this is so yesteryear, why do we use the same attitute used by those 1956 women today, cant we have something fresh, to show that change was done, celebrate in a freedom way. e.g Clean our homes and feed those without food on the day. My thinking, this thing of Government wasting monies by transporting women to Union Building for things like this just make no sense to me.

Is it really necessary? What a waste. They just want to line their pockets for this tender. Maybe we should oppose it just like we did with tolling.
