Her story also highlights the struggles women face in a patriarchal society\, offering a deeply human look at transformation and courage. \nAbout the Author \nSikose Mji is a retired South African diplomat and senior civil servant. Her distinguished career includes serving as Ambassador to Poland (2001–2005)\, Benin (2008–2012)\, and Zambia (2015–2018).
