EFF MP Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi says women are needed to fill gaps in the political space
Economic Freedom Fighters MP Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi has urged women to fill crucial gaps in the political landscape. She recently participated in a women's conference hosted by the civil society organisation Democracy Development Programme in Durban, an event aimed at advancing democracy and governance ahead of the upcoming local government elections on November 4th.
As an EFF mayoral candidate for the eThekwini Municipality, Mkhaliphi emphasizes the persistent need for women's participation at all levels of governance. She argues that patriarchal stereotypes and self-doubt hinder women's progress. Despite these challenges, Mkhaliphi encourages women, like herself, to seize leadership opportunities.
She stresses that local government requires everyone's involvement, particularly women who must occupy their rightful positions and lead effectively.
