Systemic suppression of women in the ANC undermines Thomas Sankara's revolutionary ideals on women's emancipation, writes
Lusanda Mahashe.
Firstly, I would like to situate my views within the political context of popular episodes that continued to take place around South African women's struggle as people organised against neoliberal policies of advanced capitalism and their resultant gross anecdotal inequalities in health, wealth, education and politics.
In this, I am emphasising the fact that women represent the most casualties and losers on these dispositions.
Secondly, I would like to argue my point using three illustrious women of the ANC as examples – Winnie Nomzamo Madikizela-Mandela, Lindiwe Nonceba Sisulu and Nomkhosi Mary Mini.
