Despite the fact that South Africa is going through a significant political transition, our democracy remains a shining beacon of hope on a continent where a democratic process is desperately needed in many countries.
This cannot have been achieved without the sacrifices made by strong political leaders who have fought hard to build our democracy. Among these were female leaders who paved the way for democratic change in South Africa and globally.
As we enter Women's Month, the highlight of which is Women's Day on 9 August, MANOCSA feels that female leadership can still significantly contribute to the future of our democratic narrative.
