Today I am inspired by the bond between two women. There is something incredibly strong about being an African woman.

Women whose reality is to raise their children alone, while they either wait on their husbands to return from remote employment, or in other cases, women who was never legally married to the father of their children. To the outsider these women seem to never be afraid. They accept their harsh circumstances and carry on with the work of the day.

The work entitled: Albert Mangena’s Heart depicts a Sotho man surrounded by his family. He is the centre of the household, and he also keeps his family members dear.

A few words spring to mind when I think of Flora. Perserverance is one of them, and tenacity. Pride and self-worth.

Hers is a story that speaks for many of the women at Kaross. The story of a loving, caring mother and wife who wants more for her children than what she ever had.
