Dr Makhosi Khoza recently rejoined African Democratic Change (ADC), after former Cape Town mayor Patricia De Lille formed her own party, Good.
Two newly formed political parties are putting women at the top of their agendas in the race to this year’s national election.
Not least among them are two parties born of woman leaders who exited the two biggest parties in the country, having expressed the feeling of being targeted and undermined because of their gender. “Many political parties speak about women and women’s rights and they have got this women’s wing or youth wing,” lamented De Lille.
“The youth and the women are being heard there. So, unlike other parties that just talk about women, we have got women in our top leadership because that is where women need to be in the first place.”
