Mkhize, however, also cautioned against complacency, saying the tests being conducted were way too low. "This is way too few considering the size of our population and other important factors such as inequality, poverty and underlying disease burden we have," Mkhize said.

Mandisa Mashego’s EFF exit and the political dilemma facing SA womenOPINION| History shows us time and again that patriarchy will not allow women to ascend to positions of significant authority and control, writes Philile Ntuli No one is entitled to a position of power, including men!

But just one thing, Marshall Dlamini was not 'appointed' but elected as SG. Patriarchal attitudes are very entrenched in our societies and not only perpetuated by men but women themselves.
