Launching the Gender Audit of the May 2019 South Africa elections by Kubi Rama, Advisor, Gender Links

 

These are the key findings of the Gender Links (GL) Gender Audit of the 2019 South Africa elections, where we probe the numbers but also ask: beyond numbers, how far have we come in creating a more gender responsive state? South Africa broke new ground in the 2019 elections with 46% women in the House of Assembly and provincial legislatures and 50% women in cabinet. All the speakers in the national and provincial legislatures are women.  Women voters continued to predominate. Yet the goal of gender parity remained elusive in political party leadership; the upper house and among women premiers. President Cyril Ramaphosa missed a golden opportunity to appoint a woman vice president.  A glaring indicator in women’s lack of voice in public affairs is the decline in women sources in the media, from 25% in the 2014 elections to 20% in the 2019 elections.

 

Summit gala dinner and awards

On the evening of Day 2 there was a gala dinner held to celebrate the successful summit and to award the best practises for their presentations. The key note speaker Tinyiko Lebogang Shikwambabe who is known by asking the President of the country “Mr president how many centimetres is your commitment in ending Gender based violence”. At the award, giving ceremony the keynote speaker Tinyiko Shikwambane from #The TotalShutDown reminded the participants that they are all winners in their different fields. She also applauded them for being drivers of change in their communities. “The work you do is tiring it feels unseen yet makes a huge impact in people’s lives,” said Shikwambane. She pleaded with the participants to support each other and take care of the networks the summit creates, saying that relationship building is key to growing the kind of work they do. She indicated that Gender work, Gender activism is still relevant, and on the ground, it is happening radically. She commended Gender Links for their work and awarding good practices from the local grassroots organisations.

 

The ceremony ended with awards being given to participant’s festivities with a gala dinner and dancing.

The lessons learnt It is not about how much you have in your pocket, but rather what you have in your heart, perseverance is the mother of success, if people join together they can overcome anything and that God will never give you a challenge that will kill you.

Runner up: David Marcus

To ensure social equality, Piet Julies Aids Action Group started a program that focus on addressing Social equality within a specific group (Adolescents 12-24 years old) that have the same status in certain respects, including civil right, freedom of speech and equal access to goods and services with special focus on Sexual Reproductive Health Services.

The program aims to provide a comprehensive service to the adolescents, which include prevention, education, treatment, care.

Winner: Sylvia Monyela, Matlakhu Creche

My name is Sylvia Monyela, I was born on the 1st January 1978. I employed at Mathlaku Creche as an Early Childhood Development practitioner of graduate’s children. We registered 37 girls and 40 boys in our crèche. I teach school readiness group.

 

The crèche has never received funding from the government departments, when we ask the social workers, they told us that our centre is high in standard, but they are not aware that they neglect the child which has the right to eat at R15 per day per child. Before attending this summit, I was having female committee only, I started to encourage the male parents to come for the selection, we are now having males in our management committee.

 

For our sustainability model includes we plant orange trees, mango trees, grape trees and vegetable garden which brings an income at the crèche. We had a donation drum which help us to sustain our centre. I won R10 000-00 from Shoprite which I used to buy outdoor equipment. We receive the toys worth R109 000-00. Many of the neighbouring centres visited my centre for more information on sustainability and even the social workers send other crèche owners for peer learning.

Winner:  Michael Nkuna, Save the Children, Radio Turf

 

Save the children is a slot in one of radio turf shows called Route326, it started in the beginning of this June (youth month). The slot comes in between Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 15:30 wherein the presenters engage children about different issues they are facing on their daily basis. The engagement is therefore based on issues affecting children in the country, ranging from education, health, economy, employment, gender based violence just to mention few.

 

They invite children and expert in studio for the time allocated to address various issues hearing from children and expert’s perspectives, also arrange competitions to actively engage children into things that keep them off street and help them grow better. The radio station is trying to keep children busy to keep them away from criminal activities and to give help to those that have been victimised.

 

Runner up: Bernadette Maguire, Health e-News

The participant entered for two categories, one entry was online and one on television, her themes were about illegal abortions vs legal abortions showing us how difficult it is for one to get help from government institutions and easier to get help from unlicensed, unqualified institutions. Her other theme spoke to children born intersex (both male and female gentiles) on how parents are pressurised by doctors to choose a sex for their children which in some cases end up being the wrong sex.

 

Her challenge is that broadcasters refuse to air her documentaries as it exposes the incompetence of government hospitals when it comes to disrespecting women wanting to abort and being unable to help them. Her goal is to educate the community about intersex, and to educate parents not to make decisions out of pressure and for the doctors to give better advice to the parents to wait until their children are old enough to decide for themselves. To show women the dangers of illegal abortions and expose the incompetence of government clinics and hospitals so the government can see the need to improve their services.

Mum Rose founded Let Us Grow in 1996 after a life changing experience. “Let us Grow project was initiated after I was gang raped and diagnosed with HIV. I learnt how to live positively through the care and support I received from a care group. This made me realise that there is great need for other people to have the same information that I had.

Runner up: Alma Kritzinger

Brief description of the leader:

A definite light bulb moment was when I realised that the dream I had since 2005 it became a reality. Named the SAPS Woman of the Year 2009 for the Western Cape and experienced a prestige event of sharing of best practices. I then realised that the need to establish a summit focussing on all social needs and interacting with all spheres of live as everyone is at some stage a victim.

Being part of the SADC Summit in 2012 opened up more ideas and I was able to initiate a summit that follows the structure and aims of the 28 targets of the SADC protocol with a twist that set a platform for the Mossel Bay to ensure that all work together and sharing best practices and ensure that people start working together and not in silo’s. This resulted in Mossel Bay being the first COE in the SADC region to host such an event. Taking it a step further, was the challenge to broaden my horizon by focussing on organisations outside my comfort zone to ensure that gender is mainstreamed through all spheres in the communities and therefore reaching out to communities such as Swartland, Matzikama and Elsie River.
