Women's league sold out sisters: iLIVE
That the ANC Women's League has the temerity to say there is no female candidate to put forward for the party presidency reveals a lot about the league itself.
That it wants a second term for President Jacob Zuma is beyond belief. Here is a polygamist who cheats on his wives and who favours traditional courts (certainly not good for women), and who has let the education system collapse (something that will affect the future of girls even more than boys ).
The ANC Women's League proudly supports a man who has done nothing for women . Baffling. - Theo Martinez, Johannesburg
I COULDN'T agree more with Ndumiso Mthombeni (Letters, yesterday).
That the ANC Women's League is supporting Zuma for a second term is disturbing.
What is it thinking?
The ANC Women's League also supported Julius Malema when he was ousted from the ANC. When he came to talk to them, he was given superstar status, with every second woman trying to get his photo on their cellphones.
Well has he let them down!
Zuma has not been a good president.
This is a man who has said he doesn't sleep at night because he worries about poverty - and yet he happily hands himself a pay increase while millions of rands, taken from taxpayers, are set aside to revamp his private home.
Come on, ANC Women's League, you can do better than that.
You also have at your helm a minister of education who has left the nation's pupils in dire straits. How she is still the education minister I cannot understand, but not once has the league publicly taken her to task. It is its members' children who are suffering.
So, quite frankly, I think the league needs to take stock of itself and serve the women it claims to represent.
As mothers we have to teach our children wrong from right.
For a start, we must not support corrupt leaders.
We need a real change in attitude.
We need morality to return to this country, and to the ANC Women's League.
