ANC applauded for decision, but it should be consistant

The ANC’s decision to expel a top member for sexual harassment has sent a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated.

However gender activists feel that this should be applied consistently to have any real meaning.

Despite praises from activists and political parties for the decision, many questions have been raised about the ANC’s inconsistency in whom to discipline.

Mohau Pheko a political and gender activist says that the lack of a policy on sexual harassment is a national disgrace.

He also told the Weekend Argus that it was an excellent move to expel Goniwe.
