Posting a beautiful picture of herself on Instagram, Ncwane shared her wisdom in the caption:
"Happy International Women's Day MBOKODO . It’s so sad that billions of women, young, old, rich , poor, white, black, straight, gay, etc are still living under such circumstances as unequal to their male counterparts. SIS, It is a personal decision to take back your power and your voice. "
