It is essential that the ANC elects a female president – Lindiwe Sisulu
Cape Town – It is essential that the National Congress (ANC) elect a female president at its elective conference in December, regardless of who that woman might be, presidential hopeful Lindiwe Sisulu said on Thursday evening.
Sisulu said “it’s a must” because a female president reflects the desired change in the country.
“Whether it is Nkosazana [Dlamini-Zuma], whether it is comrade Baleka [Mbete] or anybody… I think it is time now that a woman took the lead,” she said.
Sisulu, 63, was delivering the key note address at a Sasco organised Women’s Day event at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT)’s Bellville campus.
The lecture hall was filled to capacity.
