The commission considered the ANC's announcement of the new premiers on Monday as a"deviation from its commitment to promote 50/50 gender representation in the appointment of provincial premiers".
"It is the [commission's] considered view that this decision is a regressive move in terms of the challenge of promoting gender equality in SA politics, especially at the highest levels of decision-making in government. The post of provincial premier is of critical importance, not merely for reasons of political symbolism, but also because it is the highest political office at the second tier of government in SA," Baloyi said.
"The NEC further agreed that in provinces where premiers are men, then at least 60% of the provincial executive must be constituted by women," said ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule in a statement. The commission said it"acknowledges" the ANC commitment to"balance this reduction in the number of female premiers by appointing female speakers at the provincial legislatures" but said it is"hardly an equivalent substitute or trade-off".
"The post of speaker at the provincial legislature although important, does not bear the same constitutional, legislative and political authority as that of provincial premier."
Hang on. Whaaaat is GENDER EQUALITY... according to the liberals people are now gender neutral? So... what is it?
This is most useless rag in SA.
samkelemaseko If that is their problem with the appointments, I suggest they stay far away from reality.

Competence....knows no gender !

That's not the song the ANC was singing during the run-up to SAElections2019: The ANC in the WCape was insisting they were going to win! Now suddenly they claim they knew they would not: I suppose that's what Malema will also say now that the EFF will not be governing SA! Duh!
