In today’s show, we were joined on the line by Glen De Swart – Psycho-Social Manager at Health4Men. This new HIV prevention and Health Care services for men was launched about two months ago. They provide free HIV tests, CD4 counts, sexual transmitted infection screening and counselling. Glen explained more about other services that they provide.

We closed off the show with an interview with Vainola Makan – from Gender Education and Training Network. It has been reported that 5 out of the 9 provinces will be run by women, as 5 females will be sworn in to take up Premier Positions. According to research done by Gender Links, South Africa has soared from 17th to 3rd place in the global ranking of women in parliament following the 22nd of April elections that saw an 11% increase in women’s representation in the national assembly from 34% to 45%. This is the largest increase since the first democratic elections in 1994 in which women’s representation jumped. At provincial level, women’s representation increased from 30% to 43%. In this male dominated field, we will be speaking about the role of women in Politics. For more information about GETNET go to www.getnet.org.za or contact (021) 697 5355.
