Ramaphosa says women are more than capable to lead just like the pioneers of the 1956 Women’s march. He hailed women as champions, saying that many are now in leading positions in various fields – notably women in parliament, the judiciary and sports. “She was a deputy secretary general and she did all the work. She assisted the organization in various ways, she was a staunch activist for many years. She became an activist at a very young age, working with the likes of Albertina Sisulu, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and many others including Sophie Debruyn. She displayed good leadership qualities.”President Ramaphosa says more still needs to be done to advance women in South Africa.
“The struggle of the women of our country is not done yet, we still need to uplift the women of our country to a level where they are equal to men. We have made a lot of progress, many of those who are registered are female students, close to half of our members of parliament are now female, and we are now about to have a Deputy Chief Justice, who is a female.
