- Book now for the 3 August panel discussion
- Gqeberha based women breaking the construction ceiling
- Women’s Month Celebrations acquire really animated
August heralds women’s month – on the one side we will believe men saying that it is not unbiased and on the other side women saying that every day is mens day anyway.
BUT, to this scribes pithy mind I can honestly say that women deserve the recognition and, as per normal, I say that from a really selfish perspective as the more women we can introduce to the world of work and especially the world of construction then the better we will all be for it.
Those arguments about how women are unable to execute the physical work pale into insignificance and, frankly, are indicative of honest how small some mens minds can be when all they can focus on is the testorone filled component of any form of work. When last did you actually fracture a sweat at work and honest what percentage of that was in physically demanding work that ONLY a man could finish?
I thought so!
bela – Built Environment Ladies Association – is a Gqeberha based womans association highlighting the many competent women in the construction field. NO, not honest secretaries and PA’s but real women doing real jobs of substance.
In celebration of Women’s Month the bela group are hosting a panel discussion between 5 women – each from a specific decade – on Thursday evening 3 August, for a fun evening to celebrate Women’s Month and meet some like-minded ladies! These inspirational women, will share their experiences from their careers from across the Built Environment and over many years.
Estee Lauder will be showcasing some of their products and ‘goodies’ at the bela event, and there are some lovely raffle prizes up for grabs:
- a R600 voucher from Blow Hair Co.,
- a hand and foot flatter from Ilze Tesnar Beauty Salon, and
- a magnificent utensil from Carrol Boyes with which to entertain your guests.
Don’t miss out – Register for this fun event at www.bela.org.za/events before Monday evening!
The Panel discussion will be facilitated by journalist Alan Straton of #MyPR

Part of what the food industry does with public relations, just like the chemical industry or the oil industry, is to try to erase their fingerprints from their messaging. So when consumers hear about a recent effort like the \”food dialogues\” put on by a group called the US Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, do they know necessarily that these \”dialogues\” are being funded by companies like Monsanto, a large chemical company and the controller of most of the patents on genetically modified seeds? No, they don\’t. – Anna Lappe
