ANCWL demands apology, disciplinary action against Mantashe over ‘derogatory’ sex-for-jobs remarks
The ANC Women's League says Gwede Mantashe should uphold the party's principles of non-sexism, equality and respect, rejecting his age as an excuse for what it described as dishonourable conduct.
The ANC Women's League has called for formal internal disciplinary action against ANC National Chairperson Gwede Mantashe following his vulgar comments about "sex-for-jobs" exploitation allegations. Mantashe dismissed the issue as a personal matter, stating, "Don't involve me in issues of asking for a vagina." The Women's League condemned his remarks as "gratuitously improper" and demanded he apologize publicly.
They also pushed for official organizational sanctions, rejecting the use of his age to excuse his behavior. The league emphasized Mantashe's responsibility as a national leader to model ethical leadership and uphold the movement's foundational principles of equality and human dignity.
