Remove Bathabile Dlamini as Minister of Women
To remove Bathabile Dlamini and replace her with a more suitable candidate
Why is this important?
Gender violence specialist Lisa Vetten explained that as minister of social development‚ Dlamini showed "scant regard for women‚ being willing to gamble with the country's grants - many of which‚ the child support grant and the foster care grants in particular‚ are received [mostly] by women".
"The 2013-2018 Integrated Programme of Action to address violence against women and children has never been put into effect and was never consulted around. On her watch‚ little has been done to improve the working conditions of NPOs which provide a significant number of social welfare services."
