According to the Electoral Commission of South Africa, women represent 55% of the registered voters in the upcoming elections.
“All these parties are playing the blame game. They’re simply using women and activists to further their individual and collective political careers. They don’t care about us,” Esther Meletse said.
All representatives argued that ending gender-based violence is a priority for their respective parties. However the ANC, EFF, DA have faced public scrutiny on how the parties have dealt with sexual harassment and violence within their ranks. IFP is the only party that argued that the party is “clean” of any sexual harassment because its members and leaders respect women, according to party representative Dalsy Manganyi.
Attendees felt that the parties didn’t adequately share how they plan on achieving their manifesto commitments.
