Upcoming politicians have their say
2021 marks a year where most political parties are headed for their elective congresses. With less and less female representation in parliament, Voice Woman spoke to four emerging female politicians to get their views on what could be holding women back in politics.
Q: What inspired you to join politics?
Bokamoso Modibedi, 33, BDP National Youth Executive Committee:
To influence policy reforms especially on education, youth empowerment, and women empowerment.
Bonnie Tlhagwane, 30, BCP Youth League Secretary-General
Largely because of Dumelang Saleshando. I have been following him from a young age and some issues he raised hit close to home.
