In 2016, Professor Puleng Segalo & Dr Bianca Parry wrote a paper, Eating Burnt Toast: The Lived Experiences of Female Breadwinners in South Africa that contextualises the individual lived experiences of South African female breadwinners, utilising data collected from ten female breadwinners from the Mpumalanga and Gauteng provinces respectively using in-depth, semi structured interviews – to make you understand what the realities of Female Breadwinners are in South Africa. This morning we revisit this paper & look at updated data regarding Women Breadwinners in SA with Dr Bianca Parry.

2. Does the flow of the water carry any significance, water that is still, raging waters, waves in the water etc?
3. Does the temperature of the water also carry any significant message – hot, cold, warm?
4. What about water that changes colour – grey to clear and vice versa, what about the sudden look of blood in the water?
5. What about being on top of the water vs being in shallow water, in deep water and more?
