You must level up without pushing another women down, says Norma Gigaba

As South Africans around the world celebrate Women's Day, Norma Gigaba has shared her own words of wisdom.

"You must level up without pushing another women down. We are all fighting for our dreams, to reach our goals and to succeed," she wrote on Instagram.

She went on to add that it's about time we end girl hate and start focusing on respecting each other.

"If you think you will win by intentionally tearing, knocking , or pushing down another women...Choose another option . You don't have to like or understand her life but respect her hard work or hustle."

Wife to Minister of Home Affairs, Malusi Gigaba, Norma's comments were met with applause from her over 163 000 strong followers on Instagram alone.

Preach!
