Editorial: Cabinet picks boost gender equality

It is absurd that we should need to celebrate that our leaders reflect the diversity of our society.The ANC has long pushed for equality in its senior positions. This is all the more laudable in a society where violence towards women is endemic, and where other political parties are less interested in equality.

But, to get to the top, a woman has to make it through a system that has been refined, over centuries, to exclude anyone that does not conform to a narrow definition of leaders. Last year, research on the state of gender on JSE-listed boards revealed that just 10% of 267 JSE-listed companies analysed had achieved gender parity on their boards. Fin24 reported that a further 50 did not report on gender at board level, despite amendments to JSE listing requirements in 2017 to include the promotion of gender diversity at board level.

And oh if only an effective way to reduce the incidence of rape!

That's good but citizens don't eat gender balanced,we want service delivery.
