Woman of tomorrow hosted a small lunch for 20 young women in Matatiele. The lunch was filled with young inspirational women, who are full of ideas and life. The purpose of lunch was to introduce the WOT foundation and Online magazine, to get young women together and talking, to show them what WOT is about. Woman Of Tomorrow is about leadership and motivation, getting young female leaders interested in business, leadership, education, charity, community and God. The lunch was a great success, with 20 young women who were part of the guest list who were interacting and getting to know each other. Guests were from four different home towns and where students from seven different universities and higher learning institution.
A young woman who stood out was Phelisa Siboyana, a young God fearing woman, a true inspiration to many of the young women who set at that table. The guest speaker was a Miliswa who is the manager of the ABSA branch in Matatiele, a woman on the rise, with a successful career and house hold, she was the perfect person to speak to the young ladies at the lunch.
There was great food, great drinks and great company. Woman of tomorrow will be hosting lunches, teas and leadership conferences , the lunch was just the start ( to be on W.O.T data base please email wotmagsa@gmail.com with your details, name, cell number, email and city) . Miss NMMU 2013 said in one of her social network posts, ” i wish woman would encourage each other instead of bringing each other down”, this is one of our aims as W.O.T. W.O.T was first foundered as a club to unite girls and build a sisterhood bond among them, this was the original vision of the the W.O.T, now we are creating a movement of young female who are ready to take on lead positions in their societies and in their country.
There are greater days ahead of the the WOT movement.
Inspiring, motivating and building God fearing female leaders for tomorrow.

Made For Greateness
W.O.T Africa hosted their Made For Greatness seminar at NMMU Second Avenue Campus, at the Oceana Residence. The seminar was hosted for 20 young ladies, who had the privilege of being inspired by great speakers and an amazing singer. The young ladies were equipped with the tools to become greater and know they can be great. Gods hand was as always with the team and the attendees. Thank you to all who where there.
When we as young women start living in the greatness that we have been called for and made for a shift in our environments starts taking place. We start seeing the world in a different light. We had amazing speakers, who spoke about the core of greatness, business women, anthropologists and spiritual guides.
Mrs. Mazibuko touched on being a solution finders to the problems you see. To be a great business woman, you need to be someone who is on the search for the next great thing, great idea and someone who is willing to step out and take risks.
Women need to learn to follow their passion, not status quo, Ms. Rala rala said that “your passion will connect you to the right people,” If you find yourself stuck in a place you can not move forward from, you may need to revaluate your position, you may be in the wrong place that is not your place of passion. Being a great does not mean be stuck up, you need to be humble and not forget where you come from. Some of the greatest people in the world are people who give back to their communities and people who never forget where they came from, because for them that is fuel to move and show others that they too can do it.
Finding spiritual guidance is important, you can not be great if you have never seen or believed in something greater then yourself. “Being great is adding value to someone else’s life, be brave and challenge the status quo,” Ms. Matiwane.
Greatness is something we all have and as women it is important we unleash our greatness and allow the world to see, it in us and through us.

Her Africa dialogue
We invited women from different countries to form part of the panel, there was a representative from CANRAD, BayTV and Tanzania, Burundi and we invited girls from other countries in Africa, Zimbabwe, Khanya , Ghana and South Africa. The Dialogue was great, it was a two hours long dialogue, where three main questions were discussed, “ Who is representing the African Woman”, “ What is the role of the African woman” and “What problems are African women facing”.
The panel was given three minutes to give us their thought on these question, their answers had to represent their countries and CANRAD gave well structured and academic answers to these question. After the floor was open to discus each topic, pose question and give their input and add onto what the panel had already said. This event was amazing and very successful, the girls got to understand that in African countries the woman’s situation is the same, it may not be at the same level, but women face problems even in democracies, like South Africa and Tanzania.
There was a young Africa who was a Muslim who gave us a African Muslim woman’s perspective. I hope that we will carry on to encourage young women to be thought leaders and action leaders, who will be in the forefront of the leadership in the institution, residences and in our country.
