Botswana: Women Celebrate 'Me Day'

Over a hundred women will have a day of pampering and share issues regarding beauty, health and well being at Phakalane Golf Estate today.

The day dubbed 'Me-Day' is a collaboration between the Standard Chartered Diva Club Account and The Wellness Parlour.

It allows women to focus on themselves. The Wellness Parlour owner, Rachel Nekati, says that women tend to put everyone else before themselves but this time, they will be able to listen to three experts on health, beauty and legal issues.

"This day is for them to be informed, educated, relax and be pampered," she said. Issues to be discussed will be cervical cancer, skin care and individual will.

"Forget about shopping, defrosting and dropping off children," Nekati said. She said that the day would be intimate and was meant for women to interact freely.

Although it costs P300 a ticket for all this pampering, the Diva Club Account holders will get a 15percent discount. Nekati said that the women will have lunch, a goodie bag and other prizes.Events will start at 10 in the morning to five.

She said that there will be 30 massage therapists to pamper the targeted 150 women.

The head of Consumer Banking at Standard Chartered, Pierre Mourier, said that women are important although not always recognised.

Mourier said that the 'Win a Million' competition, to be televised in February, will be drawn under the supervision of an auditing firm.
