This Friday, 9th of August, we celebrate women's day in South Africa, commemorating those women who fought against the Apartheid era and peacefully marched to the Union Buildings in 1956.
And so in addition to the long weekend everybody has there are loads of events and specials in honour of women from breakfast and lunch specials to guest speakers and the likes.
Check out some of your favourite farms and see what they have in store.
