The burdens and pressures to have it all while neglecting self can lead to a total meltdown and lead to the self becoming less productive and ineffective. Self­care, when guilt is removed, is not a selfish pursuit but the very tool that can be used to liberate women which automatically feeds in to productivity and longevity for the social, political, economic and mental
participation of women in South Africa.
