The bid was won and the Congress was held for approximately 3 500 delegates from all over the world in the year 2000 at the Durban International Convention Centre.
Together with the National Children’s Rights Committee, Dr Pilane-Majake was part of a team that developed the National Programme of Action for Children of South Africa.
She served on different Boards in pursuance of political, economic and social development of the People of South Africa and the world.
During the struggle days, she worked tirelessly on the ground for SABSWA an affiliate of UDF on a number of development projects with women, children detainees and Scandinavian country funded unionization work.
At the height of political violence in Kwazulu-Natal where she lived at the time, she worked as a peace broker and counsellor for displaced families.
Dr Pilane- Majake also has extensive knowledge and understanding of SADC, African Union (AU) and United Nations (UN) Systems and has lead the South African National NGO Planning Committee KwaZulu-Natal Delegation to the 4th United Nations World Conference on Women in Beijing China in 1995.

In 2019, she represented South Africa as part of High Level Panel discussion on Sustainable Development at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA.
She was part of team of experts that developed an AU Reporting Framework for Heads of States on Gender Equality in Africa. A framework produced for African Heads of States to make each other to account in terms of advancement of the status of women in their respective countries.
Dr Pilane-Majake has been a member of the ANC from her student days, working with structures on the ground, including the South African Black Social Workers Association, which was liaising with internal and exiled leadership of the ANC.

Committee meetings are planned events where real-world impactful work happens such as law-making, oversight and public participation - which are all cornerstones of the work our MPs do.
