READER LETTER | In this country, politicians mostly pay lip service to women empowerment. The president deserves praise for appointing young and competent women to his cabinet. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
That said, the president has shown commitment to women empowerment. He also has the knack of identifying talented and competent females. He has exhibited that by appointing women who are able and capable.
Early this year, Covid-19 claimed the life of the minister in the presidency Jackson Mthembu. The president then elected the minister of small business, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, to act in the position. A month or so ago, the president suspended the minister of health, Dr Zweli Mkhize. The minister is accused of giving his alleged friends a tender in his department and paying them an exorbitant amount. His matter has been referred to the National Prosecuting Authority.
