Umuzi Photo Club honours four women in August

As South Africa commemorates women's month, Umuzi Photo Club has decided to celebrate it by honouring four women who are dedicated in making a positive change in their society.

Through a series of participatory workshops, its youth activists identified women who have made a positive impact in their communities and produced narrative multimedia pieces that speak to their great contributions. These will be released during the month.
