CGE congratulates Inkosi VT Dube and Dr Nkosazana Dlamini - Zuma
We also heard from Javu Baloyi - Spokesperson for the Commission for Gender Equality. He was
speaking to us about the two recent appointments namely Inkosi VT Dube as the
first woman chairperson of the Uthugulu House of Traditional Leaders and Dr
Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma on her election as the first woman chairperson of the
African Union Commission. The CGE congratulates both women on their election as
the appointments in so many ways contributes towards gender equality and equity
and therefore will definitely help to enhance the status and role of women in
society. It believes Inkosi Dube’s election comes at a critical time wherein
patriarchy is being cited as one of the drawback towards an attainment of
gender equality in the country and therefore they hope that she will use her
position to advocate and lobby for a society free from gender oppression and
inequality. They also hope with Dr Dlamini at the helm that the implementation
of resolution 1325 will be appropriately implemented during peace keeping
missions in Africa . For further information you can contact CGE on (021) 426 4080 or
