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.
