Mantashe in hot water over vulgar ‘sex-for-jobs’ comments

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.
