Labour Minister Membathisi Mdladlana is expected to emphasise the importance of gender equality as enshrined in the country's Constitution when he addresses the department's Women's Day celebrations tomorrow Friday, 14 August.
The annual celebration, traditionally held a week after the national event, is scheduled to take place at the Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg. The event affords staff members, their spouses and families an opportunity to entertain themselves amid discussions interspersed with music, poetry and other forms of entertainment.
This year's gathering is themed "Together Empowering Women for Development and Gender Equality" and dignitaries from various fields are expected to be part of the festivities.
The media is invited.
