“ It is remarkable what Manushi Chhillar has achieved” said his HRH Chief Mandela as he welcomed the Miss World Team, led by their CEO Julia Morley to Mthatha Airport.
“We have followed Manushi’s journey with great interest. We first saw her winning project at the Miss World Final. Now as a direct result of Manushi’s work we will have the inauguration of the first Sanitary Pad machine in Southern Africa at the birthplace of my grandfather. We will be empowering local women in the community to be able to produce these sanitary towels for the young girls at school.”
Manushi replied “I cannot believe this is happening, it is a dream come true. I know the priority President Mandela placed on solving the inequality faced by young girls who did not have access to Feminine Hygiene and now thanks to Julia Morley, the Miss world Organisation, Barberry (SA) and to you Chief Mandela, we are providing a solution in your grandfather’s home village of Mvezo”.
The significance of the Sanitary Pad Machine launch has been further amplified by the announcement today on the official website of The President Of South Africa, President Ramaphosa.
