“I feel like 16 days of activism is not enough and government knows it, we have to do more as a nation to secure a safe future”

As a female in South Africa making sure that you always stand out and make things happen if not for you, for the next generation, is important because as females we have to keep motivating each other to do the most and inspire each other to be more independent and take up spaces we’ve never been able to be in before.

Hyundai collaborated with Lebo Mashile and Thuli Ntuil for an amazing performance piece that talked about GBV and what women go through. This was expressed through poetry and performance that introduced the new Hyundai creta that is dedicated to women, for women showing them that they can take over in whatever they’re doing and still drive in style and elegance.

“I feel like 16 days of activism is not enough and government knows it, we have to do more as a nation to secure a safe future”, said Lebo Mashile.
