Girl children in the workplace

"In an article that appeared in the Business Day on May 10, 2005, S’bu Mngadi, the corporate and strategy officer of Cell C writes about the importance of Take a Girl Child to Work Day, an initiative it sponsors. As someone who once was a girl child and is now privileged enough to work, I fully support the campaign’s laudable intentions.

I have never personally taken a girl child to work. Those who have tell me it can be a bit un-nerving to have an inquisitive fourteen-year old girl child peering over your shoulder the whole day as you respond to inane emails, saunter down to the pause area and generally try to look busy."
