The national Women’s Day event was moved to the Union Buildings at the eleventh hour on Tuesday due to the minibus strike which has sparked violence in several of the city’s informal areas.
CAPE TOWN - The African National Congress Women’s League in the Western Cape said it was disappointed that President Cyril Ramaphosa would not be hosting the national Women’s Day event in Khayelitsha on Wednesday.The ANC in the province said it was the city’s most vulnerable who were having to bear the brunt of the stand-off.
Provincial convenor of the ANC’s Women League, Mampe Kotsi, said Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis was unfairly apportioning all the blame for the strike and the violence on the taxi industry. Kotsi said the provincial women’s league was upset that they won’t be at the centre of the national commemoration of the women of 1956.
