Ramaphosa used his weekly newsletter on International Women’s Day to reflect on the Women’s Charter, which was drawn up in 1994.
He says the women of South Africa have played a pivotal role in the country’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We salute the resilience and bravery of women frontline workers, who worked to fight the pandemic as nurses, doctors, emergency personnel, police and soldiers,” he wrote.
