Ending women’s month with a bang! 🥊✨

Boxing South Africa joined Tulie Tanda, featuring the EmpowerHER Experience at Bernice Ferreira's former primary school, Laerskool Piet van Vuuren, for a powerful day of inspiration, empowerment and meaningful conversations.

The delegation also included BSA Women in Boxing Chairperson-Rina Subotzky, Asanda Simelane WBO Africa Champion, Terry-Anne Hart-Fighters Club Promoter and more prominent women taking up space, who inspired learners with messages of empowerment and resilience.

From once sitting in those very classrooms to becoming a WBC world champion, Bernice reminded learners that their beginnings do not define their future, dreams, discipline and belief can take you anywhere.

A beautiful reminder that champions are not only made in the ring, but also through the lives they inspire.
