KWAZULU-NATAL ANCWL WANTS CDE BATHABILE DLAMINI TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT
10 May 2015
The African National Women’s League (ANCWL) in KwaZulu-Natal today concluded its very successful Provincial General Council which amongst other things dealt with crucial policy matters and preparations for the upcoming national women’s league conference.
All this has happened in an atmosphere marked by a strong spirit of comradeship, common purpose and candid discussions which saw more than 400 delegates expressing their views freely as it has been the way of life in our movement for the past 103 years.
Delegates from all eleven regions looked at policy matters to judge whether such policies are being implemented correctly, to assess what changes needed to be made and what gaps to be filled to ensure that the ANCWL continues to champion the interests of women in South Africa and beyond our borders.
Delegates felt that although a lot has been achieved since 1994 in terms of ending women abuse, a lot needs to be done as this scourge still continues to raise its ugly head. To deal with this problem, the PGC called for a massive roll out of temporary shelters for abused women to ensure that they receive necessary professional counselling and ensuring that the perpetrators are brought to book. Members of the ANCWL have also been urged to provide temporary refuge to victims of abuse in their communities.
