Commenting on the post, many ladies noted that being moms and functioning in male-dominated sectors made them proud.

Other women explained that with the rates of GBV in South Africa and the fact that many ladies feel unsafe, it’s tough to feel proud about anything.

Here are some of the most engaging responses:

Nosipho Mdlalana said:

“Not proud of anything. Just constantly worried about my safety.”

Zukiswa Mbunjana reacted:

“I am proud of being a hard worker for my kids and hubby, and there's nothing more beautiful than being able to maintain yourself as umama.”

Queen M Moloi wrote:

“I am proud that I am still standing strong despite life’s challenges.”

Sasi Mawayi is proud of being a hard worker:

“I'm proud because I chose to work in a male-dominated industry. I’m independent.”
