 This past weekend belonged to women's running. Sunday, 9 August marked National Women's Day, and 2026 carries extra significance - it is the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Women's March, when more than 20 000 women walked to the Union Buildings in Pretoria and gave the country the words that still echo at every start line: "Wathint' Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo" - you strike a woman, you strike a rock. This year's national theme, "Empowered Women, Empower Nations," set the tone for a weekend in which Nedbank Running Club women - and the men who train and race alongside them - were out in force from Cape Town to the Eastern Cape to the Highveld. With Women's Month running through all of August, there is plenty more still to celebrate. Here's the full round-up, starting with the standout story of the weekend...More... |
