City takes girls to work May 8, 2003 By Bongani Majola NOZIBUSISO MDLALOSE (13) from Gordon Primary School in Alexandra and Estelle Kotelo from Bordeaux Primary in Randburg, never knew each other until they met at the City of Johannesburg's Metropolitan Centre in Braamfontein on Thursday. The two girls are part of a group of girls that came to see for themselves what working for the city was like, as part of a massive countrywide, inaugural Take a Girl Child to Work Day - a child empowering project aimed at demystifying the male-dominated corporate world. Mdlalose was particularly impressed with the office of City Manager Pascal Moloi and said she would like to see herself "working as an executive secretary for the City of Johannesburg one day". Kotelo, on the other hand, said she would study very hard to unseat City of Johannesburg Speaker Thandi Mayathula-Khoza.
