The enactment of the Gender Equality Bill will lead to systemic improvements for women and facilitate the attainment of gender equality. We hope that it will empower us to deal with such developments as the appointment of an all-male Cabinet in the Western Cape government. This latest appointment is a demonstration of the Democratic Alliance's political arrogance. Premier Helen Zille is actually telling the women of the Western Cape that no woman in this province other than herself is capable of being in the provincial government.
