August is Women’s Month in South Africa. It is the month dedicated to remembering the struggles of women, celebrating what we have achieved and continue to fight for what’s to come.
During Women’s Month, we will be profiling and interviewing our MOT women and hearing their thoughts on what it takes to be a strong woman these days.
Our first MOT Women’s Month Feature is Christine Thomas!
Christine is a MOT Coach and MOT Coordinator from False Bay TVET College, Fish Hoek Campus and winner of the Are Hovstad Award
Quality family time and me-time.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made. This is a verse from the Bible – Psalm 139:14
I was nominated by one of my students, Pamela Jako who is also a Young MOTivator.
The Are Hovstad award was given as the first of its kind of our MOT AGM and Awards Ceremony in 2019. Jarl Are Hovstad was a founder Board member of MOT SA and was knighted by HRH King Harald of Norway, for his work in education and health on the Cape Flats. He was also awarded Western Cape Provincial Honours in the form of The Order of the Disa, including many more inspiring works.
In tribute to his legacy, the MOT SA Board decided to award a MOT Assosiciate who whole-heartedly displayed similar characteristics of our beloved Are Hovstad.
Christine received the award as she portrays the MOT values: Courage to Live, Courage to Care and Courage to say No, in her daily life and her interaction with others and continually displays the following:
In her interview with the People Post journalist – Siphesihle Notwabaza in 2019, Christine shares that the award was unexpected because her work is driven by true passion. “I was humbled by the honour. It came as a surprise. It shows that I am doing good work and that it’s worth recognition.”
