South African Royal Princesses Network empower young girls on Human Rights Day

24 March 2023

The South African Royal Princesses Network celebrated, Human Rights Day with the children of the House Group, a Johannesburg based home for vulnerable girls.

The aim was to make this day an educational, gifting experience for the children. It was also about motivating young people to know they are loved and cared for, and to encourage them to achieve their goals thus creating hope and instilling confidence in them.

The Princesses shared experiences that make South Africa a better country. As it was Human Rights Day, the children were educated and mentored to reflect on their rights, to protect their rights and the rights of all people from violation, irrespective of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, whether they are foreign or national as human rights apply to everyone, equally.

The Princess Network was represented by Princess Gao Moiloa of North West, Princess Tshegofatso Tawana of the North West, Princess Kushe Mtirharha of Eastern Cape, Princess Hlengiwe Zulu of KwaZulu Natal and Princess Azola Mabinza of Eastern Cape who were representing various parts of South Africa. Also present was award winning author Bridgette Matjuda.
