South Africa: Mokonyane: Women suffer in political wars

Source:

South African women and children are the ones who suffer the most when political parties engage in "civil wars", Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane said on Friday.

"All these men who are leaders of the African countries must understand that when they create civil wars, it is us women and children who suffer the most, [even] when they fight... in the ANC, in Cosatu and in the [SA Communist] Party," she said.

Mokonyane was speaking at the Gauteng Congress of SA Trade Unions' 11th provincial congress in Johannesburg.

She said more women needed to get involved in the debates within the ANC, especially at its elective conference in Mangaung at the end of the year.
