The past weeks have been tumultuous for women in South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC).
On one hand they end the year with a key gain in hand: the celebrate’s acceptance that 50 percent of posts in its decision-making structures must be held by women (albeit with an exception made for the top six positions in the 86-member National Executive Committee which feature just two women: Baleke Mbete chairwoman and Thandi Modise deputy secretary-general). Previously representation of women was set at a third of posts.
