The Democratic Alliance has
called for the Minister of Human Settlements Lindiwe Sisulu to withdraw her
statement regarding couples living in RDP houses.
The DA alleges that Minister
Sisulu said that when couples living in RDP housing divorce, the man should get
out so that the woman can look after the children.
DA member on the Human
Settlements Portfolio Committee Tarnia Baker said this statement is sexist.
Baker said the minister does
not have the legal capacity to make such decisions.
Baker said South Africa has a
capable judiciary system which determines these rulings in a court of law,
according to the best interests of all parties concerned.
Baker said whilst the DA
strongly advocates the rights of women and children, in a democratic society
men also have rights which need to be respected.
“She should urgently come to
the committee to withdraw her preposterous remarks Baker added.
