Zoleka Mandela is known for not mincing her words, she always speaks her mind.
And in celebrating her big 40, shes some wise words of wisdom to share with Mzansi women.
Taking to Instagram, clad in a bathing suit with ANC colours, the mother of five urged women never to think they’re too much of anything to make men feel less about themselves.
She shared a quote, which reads: “Dear woman, sometimes you’ll just be too much woman. Too smart, too beautiful, too strong, too much of something that makes a man feel like less of a man, which will start making YOU feel like you have to be less of a woman.
“The biggest mistake YOU can make is to remove jewels from your own crown to make it easier for a man to carry. When this happens, I need YOU to understand. YOU do not need a smaller crown, YOU need a man with bigger hands.” – Unknown.
Zoleka is also known for sharing her journey openly about how she overcame breast cancer.
