The President of the
South African Women Entrepreneurs Network (SAWEN), Nana Ditodi says it is
crucially important for business women to take care of their health in order to
enjoy their wealth.
"Let's start
taking care of our health today, so we can enjoy the wealth that we will have
accumulated tomorrow. Many business women spent a lot of their time working
hard to ensure that their businesses become a success and are sustainable. In
the process, they do not pay much attention to their health. Business women are
succumbing to preventable illnesses that result in deaths, and this can be
avoided if women can actively pay extra attention to their health and
well-being," Ditodi said at the inaugural SAWEN Wellness Day in Welkom,
Free State.
She added that it was
against this background that SAWEN decided to call a halt on work among
business women so they can spend at least a day focusing on their health, which
she said could not be separated from the health of their businesses.
The whole of August
will be regarded as wellness month for SAWEN members.
"The objective
of this programme, which we will take to all the provinces, is to host members
as part of the networking platform to inculcate and promote healthy lifestyles.
In this regard. SAWEN is being proactive by encouraging members to take their
health seriously. SAWEN's interaction with members should not be limited to
business issues, but extend to their personal lives specifically with regard to
health matters," Ditodi explained.
