Meet Constable Thulile Gwala, first female mechanic to work at Eshowe SAPS Garage
In similar news from Briefly News about female mechanics, Constable Thulile Gwala recently received the recognition she deserved after becoming the very first woman to start working at Eshowe Garage in the KwaZulu-Natal area.
In a heartwarming and inspirational post, SAPS praised the young woman for staying true to her dream despite the many stereotypes that barricade her way to success.
The post then explains how Gwala is not always greeted warmly by some clients, who prefer their cars to be worked on by men. They would then leave feeling astounded that she was able to perfectly complete the job.
They then go on to say how having women like Gwala are forever changing the way society views gender roles and are now becoming more open to the idea that women can do anything they set their minds to.
