Additional quotes by Margaret Gardiner
In those days, it wasn’t really thought of. You had your turn in the spotlight, and you stepped aside so the next person could shine as you went about your life. I do believe that in how I’ve conducted myself, that the ideals of inclusion, advocacy and representation have been delivered. I’ve always tried to be authentic and encourage the idea that we are more than others projections. I’ve also tried to be a social ambassador for South Africa. We are a world in one nation. We’ve done things few countries have been able to do. If the world invested in us our expertise would deliver at the highest level.
