CAPE TOWN - South Africa is among the top 20 countries with a high presence of women both ministers and parliamentarians, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2021 Global Gender Gap Report.
With women occupying 15 of the 28 ministerial posts, the report ranks South Africa 10th in the percentage of women in parliament and 12th in the percentage of women in ministerial positions.
Among the best performers in the gender gap in Political Empowerment are Rwanda (6th), which has closed 56.3% of its Political Empowerment gap, Mozambique (13th, 49.3%) and Namibia (19th, 46.3%).
The amaXhosa kingdom continues to be plagued by royal dilemmas.
When the new monarch, King Ahlangene Vulikhaya Sigcawu, returned from Malawi, where he was working as South Africa’s ambassador to that country, he found that he had been locked out of the royal residence.
When President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the certificate of recognition of Prince Vulikhaya as king of amaXhosa on February 19, it was hoped that the move would unite the amaXhosa royals who had been fighting over who should take over the throne.
Instead, it has further divided the amaXhosa nation, with those who oppose Vulikhaya’s ascendence not only taking the matter to court, but also allegedly locking him out of Nqadu Great Place, his ancestral home.
